  The site linked to your username is not a WordPress.com blog, and we won’t be able to help with that, sorry.

  Excuse-me. My official web site is that appointed in the link. But, my question refers other webblogs as http://www.quintoregistro.com.br, wwww.arisponline.com.br, http://www.observatoriodoregistro.com.br etc.

  Thank you for information,

  Whether a PDF is searchable or not depends on what is in it. I’ve seen some where the text was actually from a screen shot of text (image) rather than actual text, and in cases such as that, it would not be searchable.

  I also don’t think any of the search engines look inside of linked files in web pages, they simply note the name of the file and then index that.
