You have to upload the files to your web server, then link them inside of flash using the geturl actionscript:

on(release){
geturl("www.your-url.com/yourfilename.pdf");
}

does it have to be through a url, can't it be trough a path, like C:\file.rar
or something like that? it's because the computer where i'm going to do the
presentation does not have internet, so that way won't help me much

Yes it can be a local path:

on(release){
getURL("c:/yourfile.pdf")
}
