i want to copy (aka steal) some word and pdf documents from my work computer, is there anyway my boss can find out i did that?
Depends on what kind of group policies and AV software installed (assuming Windows).
Absolutely. Do they have reason to bother though?
Windows creates records of file modifications and copy procedures.

computers record basically everything.

I wouldn't have thought he'd be able to tell that you've copied them on to a flash drive or whatever. Besides, unless he allready suspects or has reason to believe you'll steal them he has no reason to be looking for it.
The thing that's likley to get you caught is whatever you do with them once you have them, allthough it depends what they are and what you want them for. If it's copyrighted material and you upload it to a torrent site they might catch you because you're the only one who had access to it, or perhaps the one you have saved is an older iineration than everyone else's and they figure it out that way. If it's a trade secret that you're going to try and sell to a competitor all the previous things apply, plus the risk that they might blow the whistle on you. There are lots of possible scenarios and really the only safe thing to do is take the document home and never show it to anyone.

That can be anywhere between harmless and entirely illegal with jail time attached. Yes, your boss can find out everything you do while on your company network.

Your best bet is to printscreen everything you want to copy and then copy the images before deleting them. It's less likely to raise red flags.

do this, but instead CUT and paste the image to a flash drive.

If you used clonezilla or another program you could literally copy the contents of the HDD without it flagging up.
But if they have the group policy settings active, they can see you copied the data in the event logs.
Depending on how much time you have etc you might have trouble explaining why your screen was so basic for a few hours.

Can track when you've transferred anything to/from a flash drive.
Yes but why would they be checking? Like others have said they can practically see everything you do. This is why I don't surf the net on my work computers like a lot of the idiots I work with. I just use my smartphone and stream from my data plan.
I have two personal desktops and a laptop at work that I'm constantly transferring documents to and from that are all confidential and proprietary. My zip drive is on my key chain right now and it's full of shit from work.

There's always a way. But that also applies the other way. You can do it somehow, but without knowing your circumstances we can't really advise you on how to do it. Also it's probably illegal.
Email edward snowden lel. I'm sure he'll help you.

take a picture of the screen, then no activity on the computer will happen
