  4. Display The Front Page On The Home Page • 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 <dti:sql> tags to choose the PDF based upon the Output Filename.In my example that is 01_06_09 P-News-1--.pdf.
