    This may be a dumb question, and I apologize if it is.. but can you get backlinks from a pdf file? In otherwords, If I had a manual of some sort in pdf format and put a footer with a keyword rich link, would I get backlink credit from search engines?

    I don't think they can spider the links from a PDF. I'm not positive though.
