FWIW: I use document in the add media segment of the media gallery and store
all kinds of large documents there, (like a war diary, or historical record or
even an family story ) the link can be the identifier of the document. A jpg
of the cover of a doc can also be placed in the picture area and the comments
can point to the file link.
My biggest bug a boo is that I file by Rin and when you open the media gallery
it covers the Family view. You would not believe the number of times I have to
cancel and go back to reread the RIN.

I have my Dad's personal war diary attached as a PDF. It is a multiple
page document. Because it is multi-pages it would not work as an image
(JPG). Unless I attached a separate JPG for each page . . .
Of course the diary PDF doc doesn't print in the reports, but at least
it is there for my records and personal review. PDFs are also good for
backup documentation that you maybe do NOT want to print anyway.
