I considered using MHArc which uses MHonArc and makes it searchable but I decided against it for some odd reason which might have been unique to my site and which I do not currently recall.

Again:

1. Is there a way to control what filetypes are stored and what are skipped?
2. Is there a way to fix the way the .pdf files from the PC are stored?

Pipermail is the archiver that comes built-in to Mailman.  While
Pipermail fits the needs of 90% of the folks who use Mailman, it is a
light-weight archiver.  For more heavy duty archive use, you should look
at using something like Mhonarc.  Mhonarc should be able to handle your
needs easily, and there is an FAQ on setting up Mhonarc with Mailman.

 In testing from a PC with NT4.0 and Outlook2K, .jpg and .doc files
 seem to store just fine.  .pdf files go through to the subscribers
 but are stored on the web with a "-0001.obj" replacing the ".pdf" at
 the end of the file name.  The file is then not recognized on the
 client machine.

 When sent by a Macintosh with OSX using either Eudora or Mail.app,
 attachments which are listed as "type multipart/appledouble" are
 skipped and not stored in the web archives.  The attachments are
 distributed to the members intact but the archive states "Skipped
 content of type multipart/appledouble"

Two questions:
