Would an entry in your robots.txt to say not to crawl pdfs work?

I agree with Charles. I'm having to convert ours to streaming because of
other sites linking to the documents. They are public documents but should
be served from our site. I've tried different apache configs but nothing
that satisfied everything I needed to keep working.

yes, all your PDFs would be available via a URL.

I'd stick with streaming....unless all the docs are public (to the users of
the site at least).

Even if public, I'd probably stick with streaming them.

The PDF files already exist and are generated by our QC department. I
have no idea how.

I'm having my CGI app stream the file to the browser.


It looks like if I link directly to the PDF file (rather than streaming
it
via CGI), the window title is the PDF filename. These aren't sensitive
documents, so I think I'll just symlink the PDF dir under Apache and link
directly to the PDF files. Any glaring problem with that?


Thanks
