At least in the the list of "arkivord" produced by the "Stadsarkivet", "handling" and "dokument" are synonyms
dokument - se handling
handling - framställning i skrift eller bild samt upptagning som kan läsas, avlyssnas eller på annat sätt uppfattas endast med hjälp av tekniskt hjälpmedel
However Christine is right in pointing out that "handling" can also mean "deed". In your context, "handlingar" could also mean "dossiers"

Comment: "Thanks for the confirmation. Nonetheless, I ended up distinguishing between "working documents" and "official documents" (handling) in the files. It all depended on the context in which the user was using the software. Still have a query out to the client."

I will stick my neck out and say there is no real difference. I suspect it is just legal pleonasm, and 'documents' should suffice.

deed or legal instrument
Gullberg suggests a deed or legal instrument as well as a document - which is a wider term including records that are not so formally binding.

Discussion
this relates to a company that makes 'case management' software for public agencies (e.g. tullverket, Kulturforeningen, osv). throughout the document they have been taling about "ärenden" (cases) and "handlingar" (documents). But in this case they using "handling" to mean an event? shows up in the administrator's inbox.
