In that case you'll have to write an indexing client that (probably) uses Tika to parse the PDF file, some kind of XML parser to parse the metadata XML and combine the two into Solr documents that you send to Solr. Here's a skeletal program with some extra stuff in there for database connectivity, but you should be able to chop that out pretty easily.
