    Hello,

    yes it is good, go and submit .pdf files, .ppt files, .doc files... And make sure to have your links in them ;)

    No matter how big files are, even if it's just one article, or just one page, it's good...

    Again, just make sure to have your links in it. :)

    Better for rankings? No. I tested it out and it gets barely any links. The ones that do appear (in Google Webmaster Tools) either don't pass value (some that I have are on PR2 pages, but the page they are linking to is still PR0 after two PR updates) or are nofollow. Quite a few of the document sites remove links when GoogleBot crawls the page (you can check which ones by looking at the cache). Depending on the topic, you might get traffic from the bigger document sites, so that would be the only possible benefit.

    Please ensure the backlinks is indexed by Google. Don't talk about the backlinks type, because the effective backlinks is the backlinks that indexed by search engine, beside of that find the high pagerank backlinks.

    PDF files can be optimized for high rankings in search engines. SEO can benefit much by PDF sharing.

    Yes may a times this trick works and brings some good traffic traffic. I usually use www.scribd.com to post documents with links to my websites.

    If you include pdf submission too, then you are going to build more natural links as in link building we need to use almost all the methods of link building to build more natural links, I would say.

    I never heard of about PDF submission but logically speaking it should help if it contain a great value content specifically for the readers of your own domain.

    There are a few ways of doing the PDF marketing.
    I usually use SlideShare for distributing PDF, PPT, etc.
    With proper SEO, Keyword Optimisation, you should get a pretty decent boost to your ranking.

    PS: Do remember to create clickable backlink to your website.

    As per my experience, I would like to say that pdf submission is used for getting back links as well as traffic. You can submit your pdf in most famous websites like, slideshare.net, issuu.com, scribd.com, etc.

    Well, now PDF submission is also considered in SEO and you must use it so that you can give something unique stuffs to your site, natural link or traffic you would be able to get so there is no disadvantage as well.
