Answer 1

You should use Blobstore service to store your PDF files and keep application only for files needed by your application logic and presentation, not data. Here is description of the Blobstore:

The Blobstore API allows your app to serve data objects, called blobs, that are much larger than the size allowed for objects in the Datastore service. Blobs are created by uploading a file through an HTTP request. Typically, your apps will do this by presenting a form with a file upload field to the user. When the form is submitted, the Blobstore creates a blob from the file's contents and returns an opaque reference to the blob, called a blob key, which you can later use to serve the blob.

All good advice above, try to avoid putting content like that in your code. My app hit this issue and only has about 10MB of code/images/resources. What takes up a lot of space is the GWT compiling of 15 permutations of your app.

One thing that helped me, was changing my GWT javascript generation output style from Details to Obfuscated, resulting in much smaller code. You can also limit the number of permutations being created.
