How to make an interactive product catalog from PDF

Turn static PDF catalogs into shoppable experiences. Add clickable hotspots that link directly to your product pages.

By i3Dify Team·January 28, 2026·4 min read

Your product catalog is more than a brochure—it is a sales tool. An interactive flipbook catalog lets customers flip through your products and buy with a single click. No more browsing a PDF, then searching your website for the product. Every item links directly to purchase.

Create your Flipbook

Make your catalog shoppable

  • ●Add clickable hotspots on every product
  • ●Link directly to product pages or add-to-cart
  • ●Track which products get the most clicks
  • ●Update prices and availability instantly
  • ●Embed on your website for seamless shopping

Creating your shoppable catalog

  • ●Design your catalog with clear product layouts
  • ●Export as PDF and upload to i3Dify
  • ●Add interactive pointers to each product
  • ●Link pointers to your product URLs or shopping cart
  • ●Embed the catalog on your website or share via link

Place hotspots on product images, names, AND prices. Different customers click different elements. More clickable areas mean more chances to convert.

Drive more sales

Analytics show which products get the most views and clicks. Use this data to optimize your catalog layout, feature popular items, and understand what your customers want.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with Shopify?

Yes! Link your hotspots to any Shopify product URL. When customers click, they go directly to your Shopify product page to complete purchase.

Can I add products to cart directly from the catalog?

Link to your add-to-cart URL and customers can add items without leaving the catalog flow. Works with most ecommerce platforms.

How do I update prices?

Upload an updated PDF with new prices and your catalog refreshes. All existing links and embeds show the new version automatically.

Can I track which products sell from the catalog?

Add UTM parameters to your product links to track catalog-driven sales in your analytics. See exactly which items convert from flipbook views.
