Hey
If you need your PDFs to be on different OSs, it won't make a
difference whether you store them in a database or just somewhere on
disk. I mean, storing it in a database is not going to get you 'fast'.
Just store it on disk if you want fast. If you need to manage the
files, put the names of the files in the database. But if you really
want to put the whole file in a database, mySQL can do that and is free.
Version 1.4 is pretty good.
Here's where to get mySQL 1.4:

Here's info about binary datatype:
