ePaper

Upload the print edition as a PDF and readers get a paper they can flip through, zoom and share.

ePaper is on every plan; clickable stories are on the Growth and Pro plans. If your menu has no ePaper, it's switched off for your site.

Upload an edition#

1. Open ePaper and press Upload edition.
2. Drop the PDF in, or click to choose it — up to 150 MB and 80 pages.
3. Check the Edition date (today, unless you change it) and the Language.
4. Give it an Edition name: Main edition, or a city — *Pune*, *Nashik city*. Names you've used before are suggested.
5. Tick Let readers download the PDF if you want them to. It's off by default; readers can read every page either way.
6. Press Upload and keep the window open until the upload finishes.

Then PublishMe reads the PDF and prepares each page — about a second a page. You can close the window while it does; when it's done you'll see All N pages are ready and Review & publish.

The editions list#

• Editions are grouped by date, newest first, five dates to a page. Use Newer and Older or the page numbers to move.
• Each card shows the cover, name, language, pages, status and how many readers it has had.
• Go to date opens a calendar; days with an edition have a dot. Pick one to see that day and the ones before it; Latest goes back to today.

Check and publish#

Open the edition. Look through the pages, then:

• Publish now puts it live at once.
• Schedule… puts it live at a time you choose — 5:00 am on its date, Tomorrow, 5:00 am, or Or pick a time. It goes live within about 30 seconds of that time, and your homepage and ePaper page update by themselves.

Both wait until every page is ready. A scheduled edition can be changed with Change time or stopped with Cancel schedule.

Once it's live: View on site opens it, and Take offline hides it again. The trash icon deletes it — that can't be undone.

Name, date and download#

The Details card changes the Edition name, the Date and Readers can download the PDF; press Save.

• Renaming a live edition changes only the name readers see, not its address — links keep working.
• A live edition's date can't be changed: take it offline first, because links to it would break.

Several editions a day#

Each date can have several editions — city editions, or the same paper in another language. Each has a name and a language.

• The edition called Main edition lives at /epaper/2026-10-23; others at /epaper/2026-10-23/pune.
• Readers see every edition of the day as buttons above the paper, their own language first.
• Papers in Urdu turn their pages right to left.

Clickable stories#

Mark the stories on each page and readers can tap one to read it large, share it, or jump to the full story on your site. On the Growth and Pro plans.

1. In the edition, under Clickable stories, press Start with page 1 — or click any page.
2. Press Add area, or turn on Draw areas and drag a box around a story.
3. Choose what it Opens: Section (the piece itself, to read and share), Story (search your stories by headline), Web link, or another Page of the paper.
4. Give it a headline or description, then press Save. Move to the next page with the arrows.

Sharing one story from the paper#

Each saved area has its own Share link, which works once the edition is published. It opens a page with just that piece, your logo, the date and page — and that's the picture WhatsApp and Facebook show when the link is shared.

What readers see#

• /epaper opens the latest edition. Below it, Older editions shows four covers and a Load more button.
• A calendar — beside the paper on a computer, behind Choose a date on a phone — lets them pick any day with an edition.
• They turn pages with the arrows, by swiping, or with the arrow keys; zoom in; see All pages; and go Full screen. Download PDF appears if you allowed it.
• Share always shares that day's dated link, open on the page they're reading — even from /epaper or the homepage, so the link still shows the same paper tomorrow.
• If the paper has clickable stories, Show clickable stories outlines them.

Readers#

A published edition's page shows Opened, Page views and Clicks, with a 14-day chart; each page shows its views, and the areas editor shows clicks on each area. Numbers update every few minutes, and each reader counts once per visit.

Download report for advertisers (CSV) gives the totals and a row per area — page, clicks, views and click rate (on the Growth and Pro plans).

If an upload fails#

A failed edition keeps its date and name until you delete it: Try another file does that for you.
