Hi @DivyaT 

You can try by adding the below snippet as part of the rewrite rules

In the dispatcher module you can use "/dispatcher/src/conf.d/rewrites/rewrite.rules" to add the changes

RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.pdf$ - [E=FILENAME:$1]

<FilesMatch "\.pdf$"> Header add Link '<http://www.example.com/download/%{FILENAME}e>; rel="canonical"'

</FilesMatch>

Also please refer this below link

Hope this helps

you can write a rewrite rule matching you dam asset path. The rule will add a Link header to the response, with the value of the header being the canonical URL of the PDF.

Something like  

 Header set Link 'FILENAME; rel="canonical"'
