Jim,
Best way is to build a reference column, in a table used by the part or assembly number, to file names in sub-directories outside of RBase. I've always done it that way. Depending on how many pdf files you load, the database would grow the database too big making it very slow which you do not want in a production database.

Right now we run a report that goes outside of RBASE to get a PDF based
on a part number.
We are considering doing the same for the assembly drawings.
However instead of going outside of RBASE, we are also considering
bringing those PDF into a table.
Is that possible and if so what data type do I use in the field that
would hold the PDF?
We are using 7.6.
