Hi,

I would like it if on my sit people could look through a pdf in a book format or a slideshow that gives them the option to click to go forward and backward. Can anybody help me or do i have to buy some sort of special software.

Thanks

If it is a very long book with many pages, the easiest way would be to put your book up on ScribD and then put it in a DIV or even iFrame on your page.

www.scribd.com

Otherwise, the solution you seek is virtual pagination... depending upon the size of your book this is the best way to go for a lot of reasons, especially SEO. See it here:

you could try issuu.com. It allows you to upload a pdf and automatically converts it to an online book with the ability to flip pages using left and right arrows or by dragging the corner and "turning" the page with your mouse. You can embed it into your website. I think you have to put a link to issuu.com with a free account but with a paid account, you can remove all reference. I've used it and it's a really cool add for your site.
