My suggestion may sound a bit unusual, but I'd make sure these keywords form a link to that PDF document. So make some sort of "index" document like so: <a href="file1.pdf">keyword1 keyword2 ...</a><br> <a href="file2.pdf">keyword3 keyword4 ...</a><br> ... This could even be automated in some fashion when the PDF is uploaded. As long as this document is indexed, the keywords will be associated with the PDF file and they'll have weights set by the description_factor attribute: <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#description_factor> Why? One of the features of ht://Dig is that the text of links is associated with the document pointed to by the links. In this case, I think it will do what you want--easily associate the keywords with the PDF files.
