I currently have the disallow as

Disallow: /index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=13/
Disallow: /index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=18/
Disallow: /index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=28/

Should i have the / after the 13, 18, and 28?

Seems google is still indexing them

Thanks

If the URL is terminal, then no.

Can you explain "terminal". It leads to a page with no further links, it's actually a PDF page generated from a joomla page.

Are you saying to eliminate the / at the end?

Terminal may have been the wrong choice of word. If it leads to a specific page, say my_stories.htm (or whatever extension) then no. The end slash indicates it's a file and anything beyond it is off limits, e.g. images/ .
