    You would know the answers if you would take a little time reading the terms of use in such sites where they specifically answer to your questions.

    As far as I know, some websites offering free articles give you the option to re-publish the articles in different formats ranging from pure text to pdf.

    So as far as you include the author's information should not be problem, particularly if you are planning to give them away.

    Check the terms for each site. As someone who has more than 700 articles on EzineArticles.Com's site I must tell you that the article resource information must stay in.

    Authors generally don't have a problem with you using their stuff so long as you give them credit and active, spiderable links. If you convert to PDF, you can't offer a spiderable link, so I would recommend doing your best to track down the author and send them a copy of the PDF. This shows that you are concerned about thier reputation by showing them exactly how you used their article. A good rule of thumb would be "if you wouldn't want the author to see what you've done with their article, don't do it". Remember the golden rule. ;)
