Michael Urban, one Munich’s top gastronomers, demonstrates how to use e-paper magazines creatively at his popular restaurant “La Bohème”. Here you can select delicious amuse-bouches and rare wines directly from the menu on your smartphone.

A menu and WEBkiosk to match the website and gourmet eatery – true innovation, Michael Urban style. This is a perfect example of how Yumpu’s e-paper magazines can be used creatively  in the tourism and gastronomy industries.

We think Michael Urban’s original and creative presentation earned him a spot on our blog, and we wish him all the best for the future!

INFO: Let us know if you have used Yumpu in a particularly creative way! The best and most innovative ideas will be presented in a future edition of our monthly e-magazine Yumpu InSight.

Now customers can use their Yumpu account as “multi-user account“, they can share it with other persons and give them the right of access. This allowed our customers to work optimally together with person in- and outside the company.

Your benefits as Yumpu customer:

Company: Account access for multiple individuals within the company
Agencies: Improved cooperation of advertisers with their clients
Educational institutions: Simple management of community publications
General: More security-right of access to persons-grant and termination of rights

The newly revised Java Script Player provides our customers with significant opportunities to have more influence on the magazine-player itself. The JS Player can now be controlled and adapted directly from your server because the code can be hosted on the customer server now. A maximum of adjustment and flexibility for design ideas are some of the significant advances of this update.

The Benefits of the new JS Player:

Free design: Access to the source code gives you freedom of adjustment
Intranet applications: There are only your data from the cloud required
External Navigation: For bookmarks, table of contents, e-mail to direct page link
Private Monitoring: Your own analytic code for internal analysis is integrable

INFO! Those who want to have more information about this topic, take a look at our Developer page!>>Click here for the DEV page – JS Player

Our support team clearly understood the customer requirements regarding the individually selectable color design of the hotspots with the hotspot editor and passed the request on to the development department. Now, a  first update is already available with new, improved options (which solve this issue).

Free color selection of hotspots: Now, hotspots can be adjusted to the color of a company’s corporate design or to any color you wish to select for your customer magazine. You will find this setting in the edit magazine area!

Setting Hotspot transparency: In the same service area, there is also the possibility to freely select color transparency from 0-100%. In the edit magazine area, also the mouseover effects can be adjusted to your needs.

The Internet is like our universe, billions of websites try to be discovered, but only the “brightest stars” shine so intensely, to get some notice from people around the world!

We at Yumpu are proud to say that through tireless work and the firm belief in our product, we are now able to celebrate this success together with our customers and readers!



Yumpu is a “visible star” in the vastness of the “worldwide web”- now! The latest measurement by the prestigious analysis platform ALEXA (worldwide website ranking) proves it impressively!

Yumpu on Alexa website ranking:

TOP 1000 – In Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark
TOP 5000 – In the UK, France, Brazil, Mexico, and Holland
TOP 10,000 – In the USA, Australia, Arabia, Turkey, and Hong Kong

Yumpu ranking score: 5576 Worldwide!

At this point, it is more than appropriate to thank all employees, customers, and readers equally, because this wonderful success, would not be possible without YOU!

A more elegant design, as well as the possibility to view picture galleries in full-screen mode, are new updates that our programmers have successfully implemented recently. Now, customer and product photos can be displayed in full-screen mode with high resolution. Within the e-paper magazine, the photos can be displayed in a picture gallery and the readers are able to flick through directly.

NEW! Our customers have now the possibility to upload their entire photo albums from Flickr directly into their picture gallery.

A brief overview if all the systems are running properly is not only for us at Yumpu but also for our customers very important. With our new status page, you have a constant overview of our systems.

Where, when, and why there are systemic downtimes can also be viewed subsequently. Another new feature is that you get live information about Yumpu’s system status via Twitter DEV Channel!  >> Visit the engine room

The new iPad Pro 12.9″ creates a whole new “user experience” in reading digital publications! Apple writes: “The next generation of the iPad Pro is an uncompromising vision for computers in the modern world.” – We believe that too!

The huge new ultra HD screen of the new iPad Pro 12.9″, finally shows magazine content to our customers in original size and with incredible color intensity and brilliance!

Videos, which I have marked up with the Yumpu “Hotspot Editor” in the magazine, shine incredibly intense. But not enough! After I’ve pressed the video play button, the stereo sound of the 4 speakers on the iPad Pro, changed my office to a crowded place – because my colleagues have to know what’s going on here. 🙂

To support the new possibilities of the Apple device, our development department has adapted the format of the APPKiosk and PROKiosk to suit the new condition of the iPad Pro. Now you are able to see more magazines right away on our startpage of the APPKiosk and PROKiosk!

AdFREE Feature: All users with an AdFREE plan or higher can now enjoy an even better rendering quality. The rendering quality can now also be manually controlled via the “Zoom Factor” slider. You can find the “Zoom Factor” option in the magazine settings.

AdFREE Feature: The blurring function now works instantly. No new rendering is needed every time you update the magazine. Also, all blurred pages now contain a “Lock”-icon, which indicates to the reader that this page is not unlocked yet.

Video and audio files can now be directly uploaded to Yumpu in order to embed them in your magazines via our hotspot editor. Until now that was only possible with the online services Youtube, Vimeo and Soundcloud.

To do this, choose “Yumpu” as the source for your video or audio hotspot. You can then simply upload a media file to your media library and insert it into your magazine.

The payment process of Yumpu has been updated. Customers are now able to freely choose their currency (CHF, USD or EURO) and the payment period (monthly, quarterly, semiannual, anual), no matter if they pay via credit card or bank transfer.

It is now also way easier to edit the contract length and payment details (credit card number, adress, etc.) anytime you want. Further it is now possible to book add-ons like a WEBKiosk domain after the plan has already been bought.

With the new media box we have improved and extended the upload process for images on your WEBKiosk and in your profile settings. You can now view all your uploaded images in the “Media Library” and even scale and crop them.

AdFREE feature: You can now use the download function in your embeds. The reader is able to retrieve the original PDF file, by clicking on the download icon in the magazine.

The powerful Yumpu app for iOS is now also available for all Android devices. Publish and sell all your magazines in your own, native iOS and android app with the Yumpu PROKiosk plan. For more informations about the app and the pricing, please contact support@yumpu.com

adFREE feature: The download feature got an update. The downloaded PDF file will now be named after the magazine title. Also the download function is now working properly with all the different privacy settings.

AdFREE feature: Until now, only a few embed types could be opened in the fullscreen mode directly. But now with the latest Yumpu update, this became possible for all embed types. To do this, you just have to activate the options “This magazine on yumpu.com (Fullscreen)” and “Open directly in fullscreen (if possible)” in the “Target” tab.

Now, when you click the embed, the magazine will open in fullscreen mode.

Click on the button for an example:

You can now use all the styling options, you already know from our embed wizard, for magazines that you want to share on Facebook. Just select the Embed Wizard, style the magazine, copy the generated link and share it on Facebook. The magazine can then be read directly in your subscribers news feed.

The Yumpu renderer now automatically detects phone numbers in your PDF file and marks them with a hotspot. When a reader clicks on such a detected phone number, skype gets opened and the number is dialed.
