That's a good idea and what I do.

Since Google will index your PDFs naturally, it's likely that people may land on the PDFs from the SERPS and you want them to be able to find their way to your homepage.

G won't index the PDF's unless other site owners have the need to link to them.
kapara, there's a free tool and I think it's called "PDF Info" or "PDF Info changer" that will change the title, description and keywords of any existing PDF file, and it really works. I also have an old version of Acrobat that allows you to add clickable links to any PDF file. Doing these things will "help" them get indexed but don't expect it in G unless others link to them (or
maybe if you link to them all from your homepage if it's a high
PR). Of course the other SE's will index them with no problem.
As for "telling google" about them, just submit the URL's to G.
