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.
