This guide applies to adding a Working Paper, Op-Ed, or Journal Article, and more to the CERG website. The process is slightly different for each type.

Upload PDF (if applicable)

Applies only to Working Papers and other file publications (i.e. Scorecards, Infographics, etc.)

Upload the document to the Publications folder as a PDF in AEM's DAM (Digital Asset Manager) and Google Drive:

Publications Folder in DAM Publications Folder in Google Drive

After uploading in Google Drive, copy the link to the PDF by right clicking on the file and selecting Share -> Copy link. We will need that link later to add the PDF Embed.

Updating a publication PDF

If you need to update the publication's PDF, AEM and Google Drive have features to overwrite the existing file. That way, you can simply upload the new PDF and not have to worry about changing any links on the page. The steps are slightly different for AEM and Google Drive.:

  1. In AEM, go to the DAM (Digital Asset Manager) and find the existing file.
  2. Open the file and scroll down the right sidebar to find the current file version (usually original).
  3. Click on the current version of the file and then click Upload to upload the new PDF.
  4. It will show it is "Processing Renditions". You can safely click Save and exit the page.
  5. Activate the file to save your changes. The new PDF will now be available on the site.

Overwriting/updating a Working Paper PDF in AEM

  1. Rename the new PDF to match the existing file name shown in Google Drive.
  2. Upload the file and click "Replace" to overwrite the existing file.
  3. Your PDF embed on the site should now be updated.
