Um, yeah, I'm sure there is. But it kind of depends on what you mean by "incorporate." And "documentation set." And "workflow." And what your deliverable is. More information would really help. 

I assume you're authoring in FM (version?). A PDF can be imported into FM, page by page. But that's not a practical solution for a long doc (unless you script the process). 

If you're delivering PDFs (Acrobat version?), you can merge PDFs, insert one into another, or combine them into a portfolio.
