Anyone know if Googlebot etc. can crawl the text in a web page that is a PDF
file? Or should I convert those pages to text? (Yes I do want them crawled).

TIA
 
Google does index pdf files

No, it indexes content.

Example:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...ed+emergency+vehicle"+site:+wi.us&btnG=Search

: You mean is indexes pdf file titles, not content, right?
