It seems to me that you can simply start a recursive,
non-parent-traversing fetch (-r -np) of the page with the links, and
you'll end up with the PDF files you want (plus anything else linked to
on that page). If the PDF files are stored in different directories on
the website, they'll be in different directories in the fetch;
otherwise, they won't be, and yeah you'd need to write some script to do
what you need (sorry, no samples available).
