The advantages of storing in the database is that a DB backup will have

David,

  I did not realize that a BLOB is not the same as a bytea (page 217 of the
9.6 PDF manual), and I cannot find BLOB as a postgres data type. Please
point me in the right direction to learn how to store PDFs as BLOBs.

Thanks,

Rich
