I would say, if you want the DB to run fast, just use “Text” and “numbers” true/false and alike.
Files like Images, Audio, videos are much larger files (just look at the size of your PDFs ) and they are not your DB best friends…
You could instead store “only the Link to your PDF” (or Images) in the DB and copy the file in some folder… on some server.
