At first your suggestion didnt make sense but after a nights sleep I was able to figure out what you were saying.

What I did was something similar to your solution. In my PHP page I created an array variable that captured all the PDF files and the associate URL. I then linked that variable to a hidden form tag. The phpdig spidered that particular page and was able to index all of my URL's and the associated PDF's from the hidden tag. This way if I ever add to my PDF table, it updates it automatically.

Thanks for pointing my in the right direction.

Have a great day.
