the files are not indexed when they are uploaded but as soon as you hit 
the FE.
if there is in the FE no link to the file direcly (<a 
href="myfile.pdf">) the indexer does not "see" the file and your pdf 
will not be indexed.
this happens eg. in the mit_download ext too.

another reason could be, that your ext. is set to "not cached".

I do not know - but I think the API is the indexer itself ;-)
