301 a PDF?

[Richard555]

Hi

Website A is moving to Website B.

Website A has a number of PDFs - obviously I cant do a '301 redirect' on them. Any suggestions what to do with the PDFs?

Many thanks in advance

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Your question was asked before in the Q&A and it looks like answered successfully. Maybe these answers could help you out: http://www.seomoz.org/q/301-redirect-on-a-pdf-docx-files.

It's a bit hacky, but you can 301 them simply.

Create a directory in place of the pdf called document.pdf or whatever, then inside that folder add a default index php (or whatever you're using) to 301 them from http://www.yourdomain.com/document.pdf/index.php to wherever the pdf now lives.
