You can share Issuu publications directly on your Facebook Timeline.

Simply press the Share button on Issuu and then click the Facebook icon or post the direct url into your profile (or you can use this handy bookmarklet).

As always you can also add comments to the link. And this is what you’ll be posting on your timeline:

Notice the cute little play button? Click it to browse the magazine right on Facebook:

Note: If you don’t get the interactive preview like shown above, it’s because Facebook has cached the content earlier. The cache can be cleared here by typing the direct url to the document on Issuu:

Using the Like button

If you want a more subtle way of sharing on Facebook, simply click the Like button next to the publication. Instead of the embed version shown above, you'll simply post a link to the publication to your recent activity.

Embedding on Facebook

To embed a document on a Facebook profile page you must create a html page and embed the document here.

You will then need a Facebook app that calls this html page with the document. The app will be placed along with your photos, friends/likes just like this example

When visitors click on your app the html page with the document will be loaded, just like any other html site
