--- Comment #1 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
@Rik : you can store binary data in your embedded database, but if you do that
with embedded hsqldb ODB, the database will become unwieldy (memory management
issues) and error prone over time (you also need how to figure out how to
display the PDF, but this is technically possible).

Ideally, the PDFs should be stored separately in a file store, and a path URL
to each one stored in the database. This will reduce portability though, as the
path to the PDF store would have to be identical on each machine (and the store
transferred along with the ODB file).


Whilst I can agree to the request for enhacement, given the current environment
surrounding embedded database files, I doubt that this is going to change any
time soon.
