do store the PDFs as static files. just not in a single directory, instead add one or two levels of subdirectories. Alternatively, use an Object Storage, like S3, for that (check django-storages [1] for an easy way to do it). To make them searchable, store the plain text of the document in a TextField in the model, and add a full text index (you can use Watson [2] to help with that).
