Scan for PDFs

Provides the ability for Synthesis to check all other Synthesis projects for associated PDFs related to the references in the current project. Since many user projects may be some what related, the PDFs from one project may be relevant (i.e. included) to another project. Saves time having not to re-download an existing PDF.
