Anyone know how to do this? I know how to create an HTML page with links to
the PDF docs, but I've no idea how to make it auto-launch. And there's
probably a better/easier way out there."


Google search showed 411,000 entries for "autorun."

Obviously, there are a number of "autorun" products available that will help
you create that index page. I can't speak for all of them, but I've used
Autorun Pro with good success in previous projects. It was a well spent $49.
