Steven,

Viral PDF is an excellent bit of kit.

Very simple to use for both yourself your customers.

Check out Harvey Segal's ultimate rebrander. Nothing
to download. Idiots can use it because it rebrands the
report and gives them a link to send out. They don't
have to Host a PDF, do FTP, send PDFs by email. You get
the picture. It's a little tricky to install on HG though -
runs on PHP4

Hi Steven,

Yep, we use it. It works a treat.

Anyone have an example of a pdf doc rebranded with viral pdf?

Hey Steven

I recently bought rr to a limited product by a well known honest IMer. He can afford any version but I just checked out Sean's compare you supplied the link to and it is the Classic Edition. The PDF and brander are separate. In the more expensive versions says "One file to distribute (PDF embedded in Rebrander)".

I have only used it on the rebranding end of it but I liked it. One thing I noticed with some of the rebranders is after you rebrand a PDF there is a problem. If you approach the branded link from above or below just before the cursor is properly (centered on top of text) on top of the branded link the original link is active. So as you move into the click zone us see the original unbranded link and then moving on top of the link you see the link with your affiliate ID.

As some one that may decide to pass out a rebranded product this is a problem. Knowing that if I make the effort to distribute it I still might not get credit for the click. If the the link is clicked in the area where the link is active but just outside of where my rebranded ID is it still goes to the sales page. Even if I would want to use the rebranded product or report there is 99.99% certainty I won't because the junk rebrander is allowing 2 click zones with different outgoing links on the same clickable link.

Now I not accusing but this type of rebrander is a good way to purposely bypass a percentage of affiliate commissions and for the product/ebook/report creator to have the possibility of getting sales with out paying the middleman (me). I will also say at least 1 Warrior Member is doing this. He didn't have an appropriate response when I brought this to his attention and nothing was done to correct it (you know who you are).

As far as Viral PDF Classic Edition is concerned I can't find anything wrong with it and trust it to properly rebrand. There are different features for all 3 editions Viral PDF and you know what your needs are. I have plans of using a rebrander myself and I will be using one of the versions of Viral PDF myself.

For the record, Viral PDF works great. The problem is that you need to have detailed instructions since a lot of people do struggle with downloads, may not understand the rebranding process, etc.

Plus, you need to follow certain procedures to create your PDF files and make them rebrandable. It's easy for any seasoned IM'er, but there will always be people who will need a lot of hand holding to get it working.

I prefer web based rebranders because it's easier for everyone involved (including you).

I tried Harvey Segal's product but it didn't work with my webhost, which I found odd since it uses cpanel and every other software I've installed works great.

I ended up having one custom made for one of my websites and am very happy with it.

OK, how exactly do you use this tool? You allow people to change the recommended links in the pdf for a premium? How does this work as a marketing tool?

I'd just like to note that my conversation with Harvey did happen, so there's no debate about it. I also applaud him for taking the time to contact me, which says a lot in my book.

Solomon Huey

I believe that probably a large percentage maybe even the majority of affiliate sales are lost because of the fiddlyness or perceived complexity of the rebranding procedures. That's why a web a based rebrander should give a better return, simplicity is the key.

Anyone have experience with instantpdfprofits.com
It offer a branding tool as well, but the price different comparing to Viral PDF is huge.

Hi Dan,

Thanks a lot of your reply.

I'm not saying you or your company is bad, but I still to this day feel very cheated and having support brush me off multiple times didn't help the situation. Especially when I was new to Internet Marketing and money was a resource I didn't have much of.

But I do understand that things happen and am more than willing to give people a second chance.

I'll gladly take you up on that offer and report back directly to this thread so others can know the outcome. I just found my receipt so I'll PM you

Solomon

Hi Solomon,

I have sent you a refund. I have to say though, I still cannot find record of you asking for one. You were told that we were aware of and working on the problem and it was fixed.

I can tell you that you did not lose a single referral. I can be sure of this because the affiliate ID that was incorrectly inserted into your document did not make a any referrals.

Hope that makes you feel better.

Dan

Hi Dan,

Thank you very much for the refund, especially considering the amount time that has passed.

My main issue was giving my customers a rebrander with someone else's affiliate link and having no idea how long it was doing that. You're right I don't believe I asked for a refund (It's been awhile!), but that wasn't the issue. I'd rather have used the software I paid for.

Without a timetable for fixing the bug and no notification of when the issue was fixed, I didn't come out feeling good.

But again this is a non-issue now, I appreciate you going out of your way to repair the situation.

If you join Terry Dean's affiliate program at seriousaffiliatecash.com, his training email sequence includes a Camtasia video that shows everything you need to know to use the Viral PDF Brander.

I am trying to re-brand an ebook using Viral PDF Rebrander.

The supposedly 'signed' ebook is provided by the book's author and I'm being told to just 'drag 'n drop' OR open the book into the rebrander.

After countless attempts, it is still giving me an error saying that the ebook is not signed. The author says it is. Their 'support' is very slow and I'm getting very impatient waiting for a solution.

Any one have ideas?

Thanks heaps.

I used it for my first rebrandable report. I like it.

The full silver version IS too expensive. Sure, maybe you don't need to give it away for free, but $197? Come on. $47 is plenty decent, and even then...

Good software.... make my subcriber multiple several times

I'm taking a look at :DF Brander - Brand your PDF eBooks Instantly - by Tom Hua::. Looks a bit pricey, but it seems to do what I need. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I've just tried trial version of viral pdf using MS Word 2007 AND OpenOffice 3.1 - both signed OK but when branded links and names were cluttered.

I tried several times, always the same cluttered outcome.

I watched the videos, and did the same, so it may be something with my Windows or Word...

Thought I'd quickly chime in here...
I have Viral PDF and recommend it.

However, there was an error with the software.



If you're having problems with VPDF recognizing your branded links,
you'll have to embed all the characters you're using, into your pdf document.

using the same font as your branded links

i.e.

If your branded link is {-branded-link-}
and VPDF is not recognizing the link when you go to brand it.

You need to embed the characters : b r a n d e l i k
into your PDF document.

The characters can be in white at the bottom of a page
so they're invisible to the human eye, but VPDF needs to recognize the characters first, before it can brand the link.

anyways...

PM if anyone gets stuck

yes, it is a problem of all pdf rebranding applications, that if some letters from font used in document are not included in document, software has basically 2 options:
1. leave on place of missing character a space (not very nice and document looks not professional)

2. use default font for missing letter - looks better, but formatting of document is not 100% if you used in PDF document unique font, which is not similar to default fonts


In Post Affiliate Pro Rebrand PDF feature we implemented option number 2. In case somebody will do it as you suggested with white letters from alphabet at the end of document, problem is solved, because than rebranding module will find complete font set in the document.

OK, so I'm leaning toward Viral PDF ... but which edition? Classic, Personal or Silver. How do I choose? It's not clear how I decide. Any advice appreciated,

This looks easy. Also, it looks popular...I have come across an on-site rebrander powered by this twice in as many weeks.

Easy Viral PDF Brander | Rebrand PDFs On The Fly

One off payment and the script is on your server. Nice.

Does any of those branders let my CB affiliates use their CB affiliate link?

G.

Here is another brander that just came on the market. Newbie friendly and no highjacking of links. The perfect pdf brander if you ask me> pdfbrander

OK so I see my issue with viral pdf brander is the font issue what a pain in the #$$ well I will have to check into that and see what I can do. I just want something easy that works. Very frustrated here.

Thanks,
