The legal situation is gray area. In reality, it seems that you can get away with publising old mags/books online, especially if the companies who owned the copyright have folded.
But why would you use PDF? It's a proprietary, dead-end, closed format. There are many systems that can't read it. Sure it's good for printing, but can't search or query it online. The information in the books is much more important than the presentation. Read some articles like this one. Anyways, I say good old HTML is good enough.
