Do the step-by-step instructions here help?

  http://swish-e.org/current/docs/INSTALL.html#Spidering_and_Searching_with_a_Web_form_

That should automatically index your PDF and MS Word docs.

And if not, at what stage are things not working.  And before you answer

  http://swish-e.org/current/docs/INSTALL.html#Spidering_and_Searching_with_a_Web_form_

which I hope will make this process a bit less, eh, complex.
