4. This is a technique for handling that need. Outputting to a special Output Profile updates the thumbnail on the website. The setup includes: –create an Output Profile that creates a PDF with a destination of Refresh News Media; –create a “placeholder” PDF in the News Media database. This will be used if the daily PDF is not available. In my example this PDF is named PageOnePlaceholder; –add some.CSP code to your website the.CSP code uses tags to choose the PDF based upon the Output Filename. In my example that is 01_06_09 P-News-1--.pdf.
