Hi,

I have document links in a database using links on html pages like this:

download.asp?id=234&category=general

The documents are being indexed but rather than keeping the original url (as above) the results generated by Zoom link directly to the document, like this:

/documents/general/publication234.pdf

Is there a way to preserve the original url?

Thanks.

This doesn't seem to be a question about categories?

Zoom doesn't change the URL. So if this is the URL being return by Zoom, this URL must be being sent by your server. Maybe you server is doing a re-direct to the PDF file.

Or maybe you are indexing in offline mode rather than spider mode?

Thanks. Yes my site does redirect to the pdf file from the link, I hadn't thought about that. I'll try streaming the file instead.
