Answer 1

As explained by Guntram, it is totally possible. However it has nothing to do with PHP or coding.

You will have to mount the NAS pdf directory, so it is accessible on the web server running your PHP. You can look at NFS or SSHFS.

Once you have mounted your NAS pdf directory into your local /path/to/pdf, then you can glob("/path/to/pdf/*.pdf"), because your webserver will consider them to be local files.
