Is there a pdf file of those newspaper pages?

Not publicly available, no. Most likely the "newspaper" is the intellectual property of a prop house that makes the fake newspaper.

Prop houses make many fake items for camera. Billboards, flyers, food products, beverages...

Because it's cheaper, most of this stuff is used over and over on multiple shows. Heisler beer can bee seen on many popular TV shows, but is not a real beer.

And that may look like Bud Light that woman is drinking, but it's probably Bod Liquib.

Items like food/beverage products are not a big deal though. You see a fake beer brand on multiple shows, and well it doesn't really break any illusions.

This however, now that it's been pointed out all over the net, will probably mean the end for that particular prop. It may still sit on set newsstands (The props at the Paramount lot newsstand look like they haven't been changed out in 30 years!), but you'll likely not see anyone pick one up again.
