The idea is to have a table with documents. The PDF (or other) files themselves can either (a) be saved in a memo binary or BLOB, or (b) be kept as separate files, and only the filename in the table. In this latter case, you will have less problems of approaching the 2 GB limit in VFP (assuming you use DBF tables).
The table can have additional fields, like keywords, author, date, etc., to make it possible to search (it would be difficult and slow to search within the PDF themselves).
In case you use a memo binary field, for example, you can get the files in and out of the field with StrToFile() and FileToStr().
