i have a education portal, we are sharing information like Result, Admission etc Suppose Delhi University declared the result for MBA, so we just download the Result in PDF format from the Delhi University website (Official) and put PDF link to our website to share the same to relevant students
.
If i suppose to open this PDF with my domain like - https://images.careers360.mobi/sites/default/files/JIPMER-MBBS-2018-Result-UR.pdf so how can i avoid duplicate PDF Content? is it count as duplicate for my website according to Google?

Please Suggest and Advice

Regards
Riya

you need to add value to your pages where the links are, if all your doing is coping the content then your basically just a scrapper site (copying other peoples content) Google do target these type of sites and take them out the index. To avoid that you have to provide a lot more than just displaying a PDF, else why would the user not go to the original source ? you are offering nothing new / different.

I dont think pdf files duplicate content can be a much issue, as Google is more serious about web pages in my opinion, and google is search engine for web pages and content, whereas pdf file is a kind of content, just like videos, and images, which we can use on different pages many times, that will not be considered as duplicate content, it is just my personal opinion, you may not agree with me.
