I have never done what you are planning, but I believe the place
to start is to look at the dbms_lob package since it provides
the functionality necessary to create, update, and read LOB's.
Also since a PDF file contains non-printable characters I think you should be using a BLOB instead of a CLOB to hold the document.
Good Luck.
