    Hello Experts,

    SEMrush is giving warring ” 2% of your pages need to have canonical links ” When I check the URLS, all of them were pdf files.

    Will it beneficial to self-canonized the PDF through HTTP header or ignore those warnings?

    Hi, Sam from SEMrush here. It’s hard to say it would be exactly ‘beneficial’, but it will at least be the right thing to do from the point of view of SEO, as this is the way you are supposed to handle canonicals. Hope it helps!

    Thanks, Should we add a self-canonical tag to PDF as in HTML?
