Hi all,
My requirement is as follows:
1. Allow users to upload data in pdf format - call it user-uploaded pdf.
2. Add few lines of user-specific data (from db) to the pdf's uploaded by
user - call this publishable-pdf
3. Publish the pdf's through a web app whenever requested.
What I am confused about is:
- Should I store the user-pdf in database (BLOB - MySQL free version) or
file system? - one pdf is around 90K.
- Should I store the publishable-pdf at all or just generate it on the
fly whenever requested?
- If yes, should I store the publishable-pdf in database (BLOB - MySQL
free version) or file system? - one pdf is around 90K.
For an web application I'm looking at two obvious criterion: less server
load and faster response time.
The alternative to pdf would be html, but pdf would be a lot more convenient
for my users.
Any comments are welcome..
Thanks & Regards,
Aniruddha
