The easiest way may be to create a table with the full path to the pdf files in one column and make it a hyperlink data type and the file name in another column of text type.

You could then create a form with a combo box set to the table with the hyperlink column hidden and the file name column displayed.

When user selects file name then file should open.

This is something you'll have to try out for yourself.
There are too many unknowns here for someone to direct you on this.
I certainly don't know of any better / more efficient way myself.
