The database has hundreds of thousands of records holding pdf files as Attachments. These files consist of the same header image and a few kb of actual text data that varies between them.
I would like to reduce this by storing the pdfs with the text data and inserting the image on demand.
The files are served via convoluted ASPX pages interacting with compiled code and I can't work out how to get between the webserver and the database to do what I want.
I think I can handle modifying the pdfs but does anyone have ideas on a way inside the server to get in front of the request for the data so I could modify the files it is asked for?
