2008
So I was fishing through Sphinn.com a great SEO news site that is much like Digg.com. Anyways I found this great article about optimizing PDF files for the search engines. Here are a couple things that I learned from the article.

- Make sure you create text-based PDFs
- Specify document properties for the PDF
- Optimize PDF copy
- Keep the content of the PDF focused
- Specify the reading order
- Influence meta descriptions
- Tag your PDFs
- Build links into PDFs
- Save the PDF as an accessible version
- Optimize the file size for search
- Enable your PDFs for fast web view
- Use keyword-rich anchor text to link to PDFs
The article by Galen De Young of http://www.francis-marketing.com gives much more detail to these points above at his Optimizing PDF Files article, but these points that I have listed above are crucial to the Search Engine Optimization of your webpages.
