Hi,

Yes. You can save a PDF Archive in a Database Table. But you have to design the same in an efficient manner. You have to use the following ABAP Data Dictionary Data Types like - RAWSTRING, LCHR, LRAW to keep the byte sequence stored in the table. This will give you a lot of flexibility and your data maintenance will be efficient.

Also, you have to take into consideration of Database Updates. This will include the database insert, update and delete statements. This you can use the SAP Updates and SAP LUW design considerations.

For the data dictionary have a look at the following link : [Data Types in the ABAP Dictionary|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fc/eb3138358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm]

You can scan the Forum for comments on efficient Database design guidelines. Let me know if you need any more details.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Samantak.
