Can Page Rank be passed via .PDF's?

Google has been able to spider .PDF's (and other formats) for some time ... and those pages can be assigned page rank (in addition to ranking in the SERP's). My question is can you pass page rank (and "SERP power") FROM the .pdf - i.e. what type of link/text would I need to put in the .pdf file for this to occur if doable ... and does anybody have any examples?

Thanx,
alek

What I can see with PDF file it can. I have several pdf files on my site and when I click on the pdf links they open in the browser I get a pagerank on them. When creating a pdf you want to make sure you add a title, subject, author and keywords to the PDF document.

Just because the Google Toolbar shows PageRank for a PDF, it doesn't mean that the PDF actually had PageRank. The Toolbar can lie. I've had it show PageRank for pages that weren't actually in the index.

And, even if it does have PageRank, it doesn't necessarily suggest that it is passing PageRank.

This is a fancy way of saying I don't know. I suppose the definitive manner of knowing would be to see a PDF as a backlink.

I have not checked PDFs, but I have seen some .txt files show up as backlinks.

I believe links in PDFs are counted so long as theyare in the portion of the PDF that gets spidered.
