In the blogpost Google admit that they will admit any PDFs of different languages in the search result. Google also says that they will treat the PDFs as the webpages and give ranking etc to them. If the PDF is having the quality good content then it sure they will appear upfront in the search result. 

Two problem related to the PDF in Google search

  1.  First the images in the PDF to be get indexed must have the html page. Hence there is problem of hassle with that page creation a bad thing.
  2. Second the link will not have 'nofollow' in the PDF. This may cause little worry for the content owner to pass traffic.
