  Your thoughts?

Due to the widely variable size of a PDF document, I would say no. I would store the metadata and file location.


Can you elaborate on this? Why is the variable size an issue? Are you assuming the files go into the same table as the rest of the data? (They certainly don't have to, and I would assume that not to be the smartest design.)
