Primo PDFs indexed by search engines?

[geowmyers]

Hi.

I've enjoyed using Primo PDF for well over a year now and in my job as a technology consultant, have recommended it to dozens of users in that time.

I have just used the product to create a PDF version of an article I recently wrote for a magazine to place on my company's website. I'm wondering whether Google and other search engines will be able to crawl the text of the article as they would HTML.

Thanks in advance,
George W. Myers

Hi George,


We are in no way affiliated with Google, so for an official statement, you'd have to contact them. However, from our experience: As long as a page (which is already being spidered by Google) has a link to a PDF, then Google will spider the destination PDF as well just like it's an HTML page.

Thanks Doug. This is exactly what I wanted to know.
