    On my site I offer PDF versions of all my articles.


    And google just indexed the PDF's. I wonder if i will be hit by dup content?


    Should I remove PDF's?

    I don't think that's necessary.

    At worst, Google will index only one of the HTML version and the PDF version.

    That's why I said, "at worst". I'm not sure Google treats PDF files the same as web pages, since it's not uncommon for people to offer formatted downloadable PDF versions of articles.
