Bullk edit crawlability of pdf's in AEM

Hi

 

Is there a way to bulk edit a few hundreds of pdfs - we want search engine bots not to crawl them but still searchable in internal search. But instead of doing it manually, is there a way we can bulk edit them in cUrl or any other easy way?

 

Thanks

You can use Assets API if you want to update metadata using server scripts. Sample Command to update title.

Request: PUT /api/assets/myfolder/myAsset.png -H"Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"class":"asset", "properties":{"jcr:title":"My Asset"}}'

You can also use CSV file to do update of Asset metadata using Metadata Import in AEM.

Please disable launchers/processing profiles while running scripts to avoid changing of lastModified property of asset and overload on AEM.

    You can do bulk updates of Asset metadata using a CSV file. Refer https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/assets/using/metadata.html?lang=en#import-metadata

     

    To prevent your PDF file from being listed in search results, use the HTTP X-Robots-Tag response header, e.g.:

    X-Robots-Tag: noindex

    OR 

    rel="nofollow" on links to those PDFs

    <a href="mypdf.pdf" rel="nofollow">Download PDF</a>

    Refer https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/robots_meta_tag
