One option would be to create a new database and re-import the files.
Otherwise, if FTS is disabled (last option in compact/repair is unchecked):
1) Perform an advanced search of URL matches wildcard *.pdf
2) Select all search results.
3) Open the Item Keywords dialog (Item | Keywords) and Delete All auto-generated keywords.
4) Compact the database (Tools | Compact & Repair).
If FTS is enabled (last option in compact/repair is checked), use the
SQLite console to perform the following statements:
DELETE FROM ftsItem;
VACUUM;
This will remove all text indexing from all items in the database and compact.

And what happens when pdfs, etc., are no longer indexed (and the index removed, if possible)? Does the database grind to a screeching halt? There doesn't seem to be any mention in the "help" file. Presumably searches will be slower, but how much slower? Be nice to know. Do I have to test things, first? Trial and error? Live and learn?

Nothing special happens. Searches may be faster, but you won't be able to search on text in imported PDF files.
