how to redirect the output of ls -1 into for loop or to any othe looping construct

Try this:

[[ Assumption : basename of the file will remain the same. Only the sequence number will change ]]

Code:
 
for i in ' ' $(seq 1 99); do                        # Please include ' ' as this will give you .pdf without any numbering in them which I guess you want to include as well
   MYFILE=$LTRNAMELTR.PDF${i}
   if [[ -f ${MYFILE} ]]; then
      <<Do Your Stuff Here with this file>>
   else
       continue 
   fi
done

Code:
 
ls -1 | sort -tF -k2 -n | while read file
do
# your if condition
# your ftp code
done


I thought of this one, but this will fail if file path or name contains more than 1 dot '.' Smilie
