If you instead add the PDF to your Baggage Files folder, and then create links, the PDFs will be part of the generated Help System and the PDFs will be searchable via the Search tab. Sweet! The problem is that creating the link to the PDFs isn't an obvious series of steps. Read on to learn how.
Add the PDF to the Baggage Files folder
Right-click the Baggage Files folder (the folder is located on the Project Manager pod, but you'll need to change the view to Details view instead of Global view) and choose New > Baggage File.
Add a Link to the PDF Link the TOC
If you would like to add the PDF to your TOC, create a new TOC Page. On the General tab, give the page a title. Select Baggage File from the Link to drop-down menu. Finally, select the PDF you just added to the Baggage Files folder.
Create a PDF Link within a Topic
If you'd like to make a link in a topic to the PDF in the Baggage file, press [shift] on your keyboard and drag the PDF from the Baggage File into a topic. Nice!

Kevin,
I am attempting to find a list of links from topics to the baggage files. The IT gods now want the links to point to a location on the server so I am now have to find and change all those links then delete the baggage files. I have tried several reports without any luck. Any ideas?
Thanks
Don
