Description
Hi,
Question: I'd like to prevent search engines to index certain PDF-files. I see that the common way to go is to include the following tag in the headers.
X-Robots-Tag: noindex
Is this done automatically if I use the following meta-tag in my HTML?
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
How should we go about this?
Thanks.
