You should take a look at the "Content density" weighting option. This can be found on the "Weightings" tab of the Configuration window, and it is designed to prevent the "swamping" effect of having large PDF documents always appearing at the top of your results.

Here's the description from the FAQ page on page scores and rankings in Zoom:

You can also specify an adjustment method for Content density. This is an automatic weighting adjustment that is made by the Indexer, based on the word density of the page. With "Standard adjustment", the weighting of words found in a large file (such as a 50+ page PDF document) will be lowered so as to prevent such files from swamping the results and always considered the most relevant. This will effectively give preference to small and medium sized documents. "Strong adjustment" provides an even greater level of scaling, and "No adjustment" would disable this feature so that all files are treated equally.
