Remove PDFs From Google Search - Mark H - 10-27-2022
Hello,
I would be very grateful if someone can advise me on how to correctly apply the 'noindex' to all PDF files within my CodeIgniter web site.
I have read that this can normally be achieved by use of the 'Filesmatch' tag within the .htaccess file as illustrated below, but I am not sure if the code snippet is in the correct format for CodeIgniter.
Many thanks in advance.
Code:
<FilesMatch "\.pdf$">
header set x-robots-tag: noindex
</FilesMatch>
Can I simply enter the above code within the root .htaccess file or do I need to apply a different method?
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for your kind response. I will utilise that code within the CodeIgniter .htaccess file and let you know if it resolves my issue.
