TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Also, make sure to read the "Why you might want to avoid using Baggage
Files" section. I distribute PDF files as well BUT the PDFs are *not*
included as Baggage files in my project. Instead, what I do, is use a
DOS batch file to copy all the PDFs to a sub-directory in my
project\!SSL!\Webhelp folder prior to generating WebHelp. Then, when the
files are published to the server, my PDFs are published as well. Works
slick.

can't figure out what is wrong. it works if I link it to existing PDFs
but does not work for 2 new pdf's I have copied to the folder.
