    PDF documents can be found by SharePoint by design. You may need to add the file type in the Search settings though, although I do not think it is required if you just want to find the filenames.

    Go to Central Administration, then to the Shared Services Administration Web of the current SSP, go to Search Settings and next to File Type => Add a new file type pdf
