Listed under "Source package missing source" on the FTP master's reject FAQ¹:
"Source packages are part of the distribution. As such source must be
present for all files in the source package itself, this includes
convenience copies of other projects."
I think this applies whether or not the file is used in the binary
package. The source for that PDF is not included, making it not DFSG
free.
