Further notes : You cannot request a cache removal for non-html content like pdf or word document. If you have amended the content and you want the quick-view to be updated then you would be best deleting the old one and getting a new one indexed. Google does not crawl PDF’s or word documents as often as normal web content so you might be waiting a long time for a natural refresh.
