You could use the dataImportHandler. The DataImortHandle will be defined at the solrconfig.xml, the configuration of the DataImportHandler should be realized in an different XML config file (data-config.xml)

For indexing pdf's you could

1.) crawl the directory to find all the pdf's using the FileListEntityProcessor

2.) reading the pdf's from an "content/index"-XML File, using the XPathEntityProcessor

If you have the list of related pdf's, use the TikaEntityProcessor look at this http://solr.pl/en/2011/04/04/indexing-files-like-doc-pdf-solr-and-tika-integration/ (example with ppt) and this Solr : data import handler and solr cell
