Hi
I believe my order id is 16866.

I have searched for quite a while and cannot find any other queries on similar problem.

My SEF appers to be generating SEF urls and adding /pdf
example is
old non-sef url:
index.php?option=com_content&catid=2&format=pdf&id=34&view=article

and the new sef url is
first-deposit-bonuses/888ladies-welcome-25-free/pdf

can you explain why or how to remove these as they appear to create one for almost every other url that is created and doubling my sef urls.
These actual url's are not correct either, its like they are an indirect url or link and when accessed they try open an article in pdf doc.
please advise
thanks
laurence

That is correct behaviour.
It is because Joomla generates the link to PDF document by default - the URLs are identified by &format=pdf.

To prevent creating these, make sure the link to PDF is not part of the site HTML source.

Hi
Im sorry, but you have lost me.
I hear what you say, but none of it makes any sense to me, how do i make sure the link to pdf is not part of the site html source ??

I am still waiting on some clarification please?

In meantime, I found a select 'fix doc format' option in advanced config. I rather not use this as it does suggest it an cause other issues. However it appears not to have solved the problem either as pdf urls are still being generated.
so how can one stop the source of generating such, as you explained earlier, but could do so again with a little more detail as i dont quite understand it.
A lot of others appear to be viewing this topic, so I guess a lot of peole are expieriencing the same problem.

Help please?
Thanks
laurence
