The following tutorial will walk you through the process of linking a PDF to an iGigBook index. Each step is designed to help familiarize you with the app and also points out key pieces of information that will assist you in linking other PDF files(which you must provide) to iGigBook indexes. Having a pen and a piece of paper or another device like a phone to record a single piece of information is strongly recommended.
This tutorial is designed for the first time user of the app, if you have used the content manager at my.igigbook.com to deactivate the index "Sample Book, you will not be able to follow the steps in this tutorial.
