Describe the feature you'd like

As said here https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/1270#issuecomment-463523175

You don't want to encourage users to make link lists leading to documents. Instead content should be created/copied into the editor. Ok. Nevertheless indexing PDF-files would be a great feature on-top.

Additionally, importing e.g. Word or PDF files directly into the editor would also be great (optionally with delete unwanted HTML-code

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Better experience / less work.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
