I would put the pdf as a regular file on the hd, and store the path to
it in the db.
Meta data could be things like the size of the pdf, author, owner,
number of pages etc.
Storing binary data from pdf:s or images or any other common binary
format is generally not a good idea.

Is there a specific reason you want to store this in a database? Why
not use the local (or networked) file system and simply store the

Hi Jay,
Could you explain what you mean by metadata and how you would do it?
Thanks
