Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your full question, so please let me know if I'm missing anything.

Our Open Site Explorer tool (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/) is designed provide you a view of the link data for a particular page, a specific subdomain, or for the entire root domain of a site.

Here's a link to our Help Hub guide on the tool: https://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/open-site-explorer for additional information.

As always, if you have specific questions about our tools you can always reach out to my team by sending us a note with the details of your question to help@moz.com, but hopefully this helps!

Thank you,
-Kristina

hi Kristina,

i got thousands of .pdf files on the website. and they have hundreds of backlinks.

now i need to get a list of the backlinks only to these files..

i know i can get backlinks for one file manually but my question is if i can get it with some search operator for example.. or some filter..

thanks

Hi tybi-seochat!

I'm afraid there's no native way in Open Site Explorer to pull all of your links to PDFs. One option, though, would be to download the CSV with all of your links, and then filter out the ones whose targets don't end in .pdf.

Keep in mind, though, that even that likely won't be every link. The Mozscape index is designed to give you a great sense of your overall link profile, but it isn't exhaustive.
