You would need to add following headers to pdf in Dispatcher

<LocationMatch "^/content/dam.*\.pdf.*">
    Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow"
</LocationMatch>

      This configuration is done in Dispatcher. Please check for any existing config in code base via <LocationMatch keyword

       

      It should be configured in following module:

      <IfModule mod_headers.c>

        HI @rookie80, You can prevent PDF from being indexed by search engines using robots.txt file.

        Disallow: /*.pdf
