Why do my Google sitelinks show gibberish for a PDF link?
- by Tom
I have a website which Google lists nicely along with site links. One of the site links - to a PDF file - shows un-human gibberish e.g
67,8;45:: 56 83 @7<1. (7/0;,*;: /59( (7/0;,;<7, <7)(60:4 (9<7 /+ +2, VU
I thought it might be due to the PDF's title property so I changed it. But there hasn't been an improvement to the site link.
Other PDF site links are fine and display the title property as desired.
Does anyone know how I might rectify this problem or what might be the cause? My uninformed guess is it's some transliteration problem between code and display text which, I suppose, means I ought to recondition the PDF file in some way. Not sure how.
