How can I assign external PDF files to a customer?

You can solve this using the "History" function. There you can document all agreements, details and notes about the customer. You can also upload a file for each entry.

In the area People-> Select customers-> menu item "History" -> Add history -> Enter title and possibly a description -> Save -> File uploaded
