FWIW, MediaWiki can easily be extended to support PDF uploads -- if you use
the PdfHandler extension, you'll get various nice features like previews for each individual page. You still have to allow PDF uploads in the first place, but that's as easy as tweaking
$wgFileExtensions.
In the meantime, I've added links to Simon Ekström's version and the mirrored documentation to the external links section of the
Bellman article.

Marginally related -- if you're not seeing an upload link, that means you're either not logged in, or do not have the "trusted" flag (which is unfortunately necessary for editing these days, after a massive spam attack a year or so ago where spammers managed to create ~5000 pages in a short amount of time). I've given the "trusted" flag to User:MikeP, on the assumption that that's most likely you.
