Unless you have *evidence* that the indexing each pdf with the form data as a single SOLR document is a problem, I would just index the fields with each document rather than try to index the PDFs as multivalued. The space used by duplicating the form field data is probably a tiny fraction of the data you'll index and the space savings are probably not worth the complications.
