Are you trying to insert the entire PDF into a column in a table in your database? It's not entirely clear from your post.

Well here is the thing, I have a user that is copying a PDF from a DB to DB in SharePoint, there is a timeout issue that is being addressed however I thought that if a PDF was considered a LOB since it could be a IMAGE in a column that this could be an issue and wanted thoughts on whether it is considered a LOB.

Yes it is a LOB. To select\insert the PDF you need to call the appropriate stream reader\writer to access the binary column in the table where the PDFs are stored.
