Not explicitly, no. And I know that recently there has been some
discussion on the dev list about some issues with saving binaries with
some database backends.
In general, though, I would imagine that you would read in the pdf
using regular Python code, and then save it to a BLOB column:
pdfbin = file("document.pdf", "rb").read()
biz.setFieldVal("some_blob_column", pdfbin)
biz.save()
