We are using OJS 3.3 and have noticed an error in the article PDFs published in previous years. They contain an incorrect license logo, and we need to replace all the published PDFs with the corrected versions.
Is there a way to do this in bulk, or do we need to replace them one by one by unpublishing the article, updating the file, and publishing it again?
You can do this directly in the filesystem. Look at your files directory (files_dir in config.inc.php) and you’ll find your PDFs; you can use server-side tools to work with the PDFs. As long as they’re in the right place, OJS doesn’t mind if you change their contents.
