Yes, Search Engine Crawls the content in PDF. PDF is the good source to spread our content. But content should not be in images.

In general, yes, unless they are password protected or encrypted. If the text is embedded as images, Google may process those images to extract the text. The general rule is that if you can copy \ paste text from a PDF document, Google should be able to index that text.
