I would create a table, documents, that has the fields that all your file types require (eg. id, filename) and one each for your doc types (eg. text_docs, pdf_docs, etc.) and use something like InheritableBehavior [1].
You could also use ExtendableBehavior [2] and save everything to a single table. Personally, generally I prefer to do this sort of thing with separate tables, though.
