  if such pdf files are indexable. From correspondence,
  I understand that Google use pdftohtml, see

http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/

  to extract text out of PDF files. Archive managers should
  ensure that pdftohtml does a reasonable job on their PDF
  files. Fortunately, this is easy because pdftohtml is
  open source software, just as Eprints is.
