The import tool adds a document to the editor. The importer creates a UUID for the new document; then the folders are added to the application's file storage and revision and page entries inserted into the database.

...

The document's directory structure needs to be in the correct format so the importer can find ALTO XML and pictures files. If you have to import a lot of documents, you'd do well to make a trivial shell script to automate the process. Several working examples of previous imports can be found in the application's path.

For the sake of completeness you can include the PDF in the import path, but as of now there is no direct link in the interface to download this PDF. Use the DSpace link field.
