How to save a document with a file mongodb

Question

I want to save a document(a person's information) in mongodb, with a pdf File uploaded and added in it(CV) which means each document is related with a file. There is GridFS, i found that files are stored in two specific collections: files and chunk.

Is there any method to save document with reference file in it, or a way to map relationships between documents and stored files ?

Thank you.

Just have a mongo document field that contains a path on the file system or ec2. — Robert Moskal, Sep 05 '15 at 19:05
but there isn't only one path, my web app handles a form where profils enter information, and upload pdf file. — METTAIBI, Sep 06 '15 at 01:07
You upload the PDF, save it to the file system, and save that path in the mongo document. — Robert Moskal, Sep 06 '15 at 15:53
what i tried, is to save the file in the system, and the objectId of the file as a field in the document. — METTAIBI, Sep 06 '15 at 17:27
Mr Robert , the goal of my app is that a person upload the PDF from his/her computer and submit the form.When i try to download file, will it be downloaded with the path in his/ her system? — METTAIBI, Sep 06 '15 at 17:35
