Can I optimise PDF documents for my web site?

The story with PDF is similar to HTML in that the search engines can handle the text well in PDF documents - but images contained within the documents are largely invisible. It is also important that PDF documents are created from a text system rather than a graphical software package which means, effectively that the whole document becomes an image.

It should be noted, however, that PDF documents are not particularly user-friendly and generally do not rank as well as HTML.
