    Hello. I have a feature on my site to reformat a page to make it printable. On one file (showmearticle.php) it shows the content with the header, and side menu. on the other file (printmearticle.php) it shows just the content without the header and side menu.

    Will Google give me a kick in the SEO butt for having duplicate content or is this acceptable?

    If google goes bad, this will help.

    Don't risk your pagerank or position.

    Block in the robots.txt and it is much safer.
