Excluding a file type from an archive



I'm trying to archive a site excluding all PDF files in order to keep the size down. I have manged to do this in the past using the exclude argument in the tar command and something along the lines of *.pdf. Unfortunately, I failed at the time to note the syntax that I used and have been unsuccessfully trying to do it ever since.

I would be really grateful if someone could help me out with this - the simplest solution please as I am no command line jockey.

Thanks in advance
