From what I can remember the book Lucene in Action has a good section on indexing documents and PDFs http://www.manning.com/hatcher2/

A quick answer that may help is Windows does not ship with an iFilter for PDF built-in. Installing Adobe Reader 8 or higher will install a decent PDF iFilter. I am a little surprised by your question though - I assume that you have access to your own source code and could examine the result from the iFilter that's being fed to the IndexWriter and compare the behavior in the TXT case with the behavior in the PDF case?
