[Plugin: wp-mpdf] Prevent search engines from indexing PDFs?

    First, this plugin is absolutely great. My only concern is that whenever google goes through our site, it generates a PDF for every page and they’ve started showing up in search results (we have the “save as pdf” button in the sidebar). Is there any way to instruct search engines not to follow these links, or maybe some way to simply block crawling of anything ending in “?output=pdf” ?

    Hmm at the moment no. The main problem is that there is no standard way to identifie a crawler. But sometimes there is a other plugin so that you could only print the link if the user is no crawler?
