Posting PDF's

Fair to say, much of our learning comes from studying what others have recorded, written about. Thanks to today's computer technology, rather than making notations such as lists, calenders, info about planting/growing etc. It is now possible to, scan or copy printed information and present it in a PDF format.
Scanning, copying and presenting onother's work requires due accreditation to the original author. May I ask. Is such a practice allowed here on Gardeners Corner.

 

I understand that putting content in the form of pdf attachments to posts will prevent a Xenforo search from finding anything in them, but some accompanying key words in the post might help overcome this.

A Google site search should find stuff in a pdf attachment as their bots are supposed to crawl them.
