Would the decision have been different if the items were copyrighted legal forms also located by a “crawler” and displayed as a visual image such as a PDF file?

Assuming the form is marked as copyrighted the result might be different.  The ‘crawler’ prevents businesses from protecting their intellectual property. If the item is marked, the user is on notice of the existence of the copyright and the unauthorized use may represent infringement. The PDF format may protect the form from being tampered with or from being used. In that event the crawler may not be participating in infringement.
