In the Dreamweaver Template, you need to make two calls to the
GetFromDctm function:
@@GetFromDctm(MMLinkField,"jpeg_th", "jpg")@@ @@GetFromDctm(MMLinkField,"pdf", "pdf")@@
- The first call gets the
jpeg_th rendition from Documentum and publishes it as a JPG Multimedia Type.
- The second call gets the PDF rendition from Documentum and publishes it as a PDF Multimedia Type to the Web site.
Note: You need to add these calls to correct HTML markup.
