At least two choices:

1. Turn on "directory browsing" on the web server (so you can see the contents of a directory without having a web page that points to each file) and add the location to the start_url of the htdig.conf file
2. Use PHP, ASP, JSP or some other server-side technique to reproduce option 1. Here is a PHP script that reads the contents of a directory:

$path = pathinfo($PATH_TRANSLATED);
$contents = opendir($path["dirname"]);

while( $file = readdir($contents) )
{
if ( !eregi("^\.{1,2}$", $file) ) // don't index UNIX self and up pointers
{
$file = trim($file);
if ( !eregi( "^index\.php$", $file ) && !ereg("^.{1,2}$", $file) )
{
echo "<a href=\"".rawurlencode($file)."\">$file</a><br>\n";
}
}
}

I want people to be able to create pdf files and save them to a directory on our intranet.
I don't want to make a hyperlink to each new pdf file on a webpage in order for that new pdf
file to be indexed. Can this be done?

thank you.
