Not a pdf I am afraid but well usable. I found it recently when I got 
interested in Old English after reading the Beowulf translation by 
J.R.R. Tolkien. Interestingly, I found that there are a lot of O.E. 
words and sentence constructions that are similar to Dutch or Frisian 
(and German no doubt). Not so surprising as the language was spoken on 
both sides of the North Sea.
