I am looking to have a dynamic page which will allow users to select categories in which a corresponding PDF file will be accessible to them.

That doesn't make any difference.. It becomes two database tables:

create table downloadfile (fileid serial primary key, filename text);
create table downloadfile_categories (fileid int references downloadfile (fileid), categoryid int references categories (categoryid));

then a file can be available for multiple categories and so on.


If you really want to store binary data in the database, start here:

and here:
