If you have the hyperlink to a pdf file for each point inside a column of your shapefile(shp) file, once you have imported your shp file into ArcGIS Online, you can set the URL from this column to show up in the pop up for every point.

You can also include images in your pop-ups. The images can be contained within the layer's data or you can enter a URL to an image stored on an external website or on ArcGIS Online. The images can include titles, captions, and links to related websites or PDFs, which is what you may need.

Hope it sets you in the right direction.

I just finished doing something like that today.
My pop-ups display Sanitary Sewer information, one of the attribute fields contains an as-built number.
On my layer, I went to Configure Pop-up and under "Pop-up Contents" set Display to "A custom attribute display"
You'll see a dialog box like the one in the image.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]31613[/ATTACH]
You can add descriptive text such as Pipe Size: then {SIZE} is the attribute field you can add with the + button.
To configure the Hyperlink I used the Link button. A dialog box like the second image comes up.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]31614[/ATTACH]
In the bottom box enter the text you want to appear in the pop-up.
In the top one I added the beginning of my hyperlink http:<my website>/Assets/Asbuilts/ followed by the field containing the asbuilt number followed by .pdf
The asbuilt field contains a number but no pdf extension
There are NO QUOTES around the text or field name. It is just like this http://website/Assets/Asbuilts/{ASBNO}.pdf
Hit Set - OK - then save your pop-up.
