How do imbeded PDF or text files spider?

[HackingLawyer]

I would like to know if PDF files that are imbeded in a site and linked to web pages are spidered and serchable text by Google or other search engines. If so, these pages would be unlinked fragments. If not, how does a sider interface with them?

I think the phrase "imbedded in the site" kinda threw people there. You mean just normal stand alone pdfs right?

Yes, fully indexable (fred flintstone [google.com]).

How are PDF files optimized? Is there there a different approach to optimize them or they get ranked merely because of content and PR?

Can Goglebot handle compressed PDFs? Encrypted ones with printing disabled?

[GoogleGuy]

I think most PDFs have built-in compression. That's why they're so much smaller than .ps files. I doubt that we could index encrypted PDFs though.

Yes, I was refering to PDF files that pages of a webstite.

When they are searched, is there any way to add a title or control the display of the page on a Google search?
