Surely that depends on the reading software and not on the PDF itself?

no- some pdf's can page flip while others need to be converted

Are you sure? I've never known Adobe PDF files to embed that feature.

I know you can get software that will convert from a PDF into another format that supports Page Flipping...

But PDF files themselves are just a static collection of pages and the animation of the pages flipping is handled by the reading software.

Which e-book reading software are you using?

the standard one with the Asus Transformer, also tried Aldiko

Try installing Adobe Digital Editions (the e-reader software that took over from Adobe Reader 8 e-reader).

EDIT: OK, never mind... I see that does not have the page flip feature either.
Let me look for another reader that does have that feature.

Thanks bro- appreciate it.

Aaah, OK... I just realised that Asus Eee pad uses Android.
I was looking for Windows software
I'm not sure you will find anything else that reads PDF files as flip pages.
But these are the book reading programs I am using on my Galaxy Tab...
Besides the normal Adobe PDF reader, You can Try FBReader and PalmbookReader (but I don't think they are going to support PDF files for you).

Also check out BeamReader
And RepliGo Reader
Documents to Go can also handle PDF files.
ezPDF reader
DroidReader
GoodReader
WordPlayer
auduaReader
