    No. If it were that simple to rank with a PDF – everyone would add them to each page they have. My “golden rule” for SEO is, if it’s easy to manipulate or scale on your own, it’s probably not a ranking factor. Or if it is, you better believe it will be nerfed shortly after everyone figures it out.
