PDF is fairly inefficient compared to formats like DVI (and consider that so many papers are produced using TeX anyway, though figures may be in various image formats.)
But 77TB? You could host the whole thing in a shoebox with nine 8TB flash drives, a 10-socket powered USB hub, and a Raspberry Pi.

Someone really needs to build Shoe-Hub.
