hmm, 
Depending, on how the PDF was created, the embedded images are, very often, 
optimized for pc screen resolution. So they are scaled down to 72dpi. Which 
is completely useless, if you want to print it on real paper. So as long as 
you stay with low res displays, it may be ok. Most default settings also 
compress jpg images with low quality / high compression settings, which imo 
creates ugly artefacts. 

So in my opinion, if you didn't create the PDFs on your own, they are a 
really bad source for images. Leaving alone the copyright problem, for much 
PDF content.
