We do not recommend this as ES is not a binary store.

Do you want to store?
If yes, use a datastore like a shared FS, HDFS or whatever DB which can deal with blobs.
Do you want to index PDF content or file metadata?
You can use ingest-attachment plugin or give a look at FSCrawler project where you can also find some Java code.
