    WP Document Revisions Plugin allows upload of all file types excepting PDF.

    PDF files with certain names do upload but mostly I get the following error:
    Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded successfully. Check in the Media Library or reload the page.

    The document is created but with an incorrect permalink of
    https://www.nswjbd.org/wordpress/?post_type=document&p=8813&preview=true

    Changing the filename of the uploaded file to TEST.pdf works

    @calvinstein,
    This message comes from the Media file uploader – using the plupload modules.

    Since the plugin uses the Media uploader with basically two changes:
    a) On the server to mangle the file name once loaded;
    b) On the client to set the ttachment id into the document post.

    It would be useful to try loading the the one or two of the files that failed to load as documents but using the Media library directly to see whether it is the pure plupload.
    [Clearly this is only for probem isolation. You should delete the Media object even if it loads successfully.]

    Could you let me know
    a) What happens when using only the Media loader
    b) Some examples of the file names that did not use.

    If you ar able to, to use the debug capability of your web browser to see the detail of the error response received.

    Regards,

    Hi Neil

    I have found that there is an incompatibility with WORD saved PDF documents. After you have the PDF, open it with Adobe Viewer, and save a copy. The copy works ok.

    Hi Neil

    Many thanks for your advice and debugging this issue to be a local issue. W now have it in control with a workaround.

    The workaround of opening the WORD produced PDF files with Acrobat reader and saving them from Acrobat, works well.
