Hi,
Is it possible to have an image on the front cover of the pdf output that varies between help projects?
What im trying to do is to change the design of our manuals so that there is an image of the product on the front page. I can see how to insert images, but i want to avoid having a separate template for each product, so i was hoping to be able to set a variable that linked an image (with a defined file name) from the project folder. Is that possible?

In the meantime, i have figured out a workaround for this (obviously, right after i posted). I can create a topic with no TOC entry with a name that is uniform across all help projects (Cover-Image) and have that topic just be an image. Then you can insert a topic into the PDF designer front page.
