Just FYI, not all PDF files are necessarily binary. If you want them to be
stored as a binary, that's your business. I have code which will create a PDF
on the fly from a database application, and both the template and the database
fields are text-only.

If memory serves, there is a patch/suggestion in the works to set site-wide
defaults for specific file extensions as to whether a file is automatically
judged to be binary or text. Search the dev archives if you are interested...
