The overwhehlming consensus by SEO experts is that PDF files linked from pages should be included in sitemaps - the sitemap generator in X5 does not include them and I don't see any options to add them..?

On this page I like to explain which file types are indexed by the Sitemap Generator and how the generator aggregates the data for a sitemap.

Thank you. I use pro-sitemaps which does include pdf files.... but why is X5 not including this option in the sitemap generator.?
Hi Adrian,
I reported this behavior, and I will keep you posted.
Thanks! Kind regards.
Hi Adrian,
I was confirmed this is an intended behavior, since the PDF is not a page of the website itself. If you want to, though, I can set this message ad Idea.
Thanks! Kind regards.
