Fastr Workspace - Update Downloadable PDF

Overview

In Fastr Workspace, you have the option to update the downloadable file for your Publication. This can be useful if you've created an interactive PDF for online users, but you want the download button to reflect the original print PDF. You might have animations and videos that the online users see, but when downloading a static copy this should be replaced with normal images.  It can also be beneficial to use this feature after replacing or inserting pages, to ensure your users see the latest changes made.

FAQs
