illusion 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 My supervisor wants to generate greater readership in our online publication by having Google "read" the PDF and include the contents in search returns. (i.e., If we have a PDF document that has a story about mercury poisoning, then Google would show a hit on that PDF for anyone who typed in "mercury" and/or "poisoning." ) I've noticed that Google seems to do this for some PDFs, but not for others. None of ours, for example, show up in a search, even when I search for the exact headline. I don't know what the secret to getting Google to pick up the PDFs is. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas? The text in the PDFs can be blocked and copied, so I'm sure that isn't the problem. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

marijnnn 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 well, google uses some kind of spiders to run through your website. so if there's a link to the pdf in your site, it should be in google when you register your site... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
