    find . -name *.pdf

will expand out to

    find . -name test1.pdf test2.pdf

and there you get your error. But

    find . -name "test1.pdf"

will remain unchanged as the shell won't try and expand the quoted values.

I guess you meant that last example to be:

     find . -name '*.pdf'


I did indeed. Well spotted :)
