HI @rookie80, You can prevent PDF from being indexed by search engines using robots.txt file.

Disallow: /*.pdf

    @rookie80 

     

    You would need to add following headers to pdf in Dispatcher

    <LocationMatch "^/content/dam.*\.pdf.*">
        Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow"
    </LocationMatch>

        This configuration is done in Dispatcher. Please check for any existing config in code base via <LocationMatch keyword

         

        It should be configured in following module:

        <IfModule mod_headers.c>
