Authorship/Ranking when 2 separate authors

[BobGW]

Hello,

We've got a pdf with, on the front page

"by author 1 and author 2"

Author one published the PDF and sits at rank 3

Author 2 is us (on a completely different website than author 1)

1. How can we rank highest, and can we use google authorship?

2. Can we get our picture next to the article?

Let me know if we need to convert to html for (1) and/or (2)

It's definitely possible to get Google authorship for a PDF: https://plus.google.com/+MarkTraphagen/posts/j7rN1AWzAK5

But I can't figure out how to do it! Anyone know?
