Hmm, this sounds quite similar to a bug we have which I haven't finished 
chasing up on actually.

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639556

Does tracker-search find the files if you use:

  tracker-search -t searchterm

Is FTS enabled in configure?

Where in the PDF is the search term?

If all of this fails, it is worth looking at the output from 
tracker-extract to see if we're getting the words you expect to find. 
You can test this with:

  /usr/libexec/tracker-extract -v 3 -f $myfilename

The output should show nie:plainTextContent with the words you can query.

Hope this helps.
