Hi Peter,
Not sure it's the best way, but with the node.js mode you may want to take
advantage of decoupling content and metadata. Just move the PDF files into
a subdirectory of tiddlers/ and create a .meta file from each PDF
filename, that you can then transclude in a tiddler that is easier to
handle. Like so:
x2:server xavier$ ls tiddlers/invoices/
April 2014 invoice.tid Invoice from supplier X.pdf.meta
Invoice from supplier X.pdf
x2:server xavier$ cat tiddlers/invoices/Invoice\ from\ supplier\ X.pdf.meta
title: $:/mypdfs/invoices/201404
type: application/pdf
x2:server xavier$ cat tiddlers/invoices/April\ 2014\ invoice.tid
created: 20140501163534829
modified: 20140501163640138
tags: [[pdf invoices]] due
title: April 2014 invoice
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
{{$:/mypdfs/invoices/201404}}
x2:server xavier$
Granted, it involves 3 files for each PDF, but it can certainly be scripted
if you have a lot of pdfs.
