Would it be better to store uploaded pdf, word, or excel documents in a
MySql blob field rather than keeping them in a directory?
I really want to secure the documents and limit document access to
specific users.
Curious....

Obscuring access to information is not a safe security policy, it just makes
it harder to some, it doesn't make it foolproof against all. And, in the
meantime, you are placing a toll on your resources and performance for no
real gain.
If you have lousy security, you can have it in MySql or in your directories.
