Answer 1

sharepointde1tuke, Make sure you re crawl your search database again.Do a full crawl. Hope that helps.Can't remember the syntax.If you still have issues let me know

Answer 2

What you could do is to install Windows Desktop Search to check if PDFs are searchable from there. If they aren't you have a iFilter-Problem otherwise its a SharePoint/SearchServer-Problem.

Another thing you could do is restarting the search services (like "osearch") or -if possible- restart the whole server.

Let us know if that helps.
