Some of he documents I have in my site have been indexed by Google but the PDF coming from a bad quality source (microfilms), whatever Google has interpreted is nothing like the real title. On top of that, I have a very well indexed website and I wish my visitors to view it as a whole, not just a PDF randomly picked and shown out of its normal page setup. I have nothing against the idea, I just want Google to give the opportunity to webmasters to avoid this indexation. I haven't found anything in FAQ that would tell me how to stop this.
