Hello We are using Discourse as a tool to exchange and share experiences. I was going to publish PDF content but the file attachment only allows jpg, jpeg, png, gif, heic, heif, webp extensions. Could someone give me a way to attach the PDF file in the platform please ? Thanks

It’s in your Files settings: [image] In this example, only staff are allowed to upload pdf files.

Thank you for your help. I have changed the settings and now the PDF can be attached. However, when I reach 50% of the download, it stops and gives this message: “Sorry, there was an error sending the file. Please try again.” I tried more than 5 times but it gives this again. What would be the problem ? and how to fix it please ?

You might need to update your nginx config too if the files are very large: [תמונה] Image Uploading Size Show Exceeding Though It's Less Support I guess the new update added a hint about fixing this, so here is the full guide for those who face the same issue… it’s all about nginx: 1. Go to nginx folder: cd /etc/nginx 2. Add this line to your nginx.conf file: http { ... client_max_body_size 4M; } This will allow nginx to accept files with a max size of 4 megabytes. 3. Restart nginx: If you’re paranoid like me use run systemctl restart nginx Or simply send the nginx restart signal by running nginx -s reload

Yes, after compressing the file, it worked ! Thanks a lot for your help !

You can also try in first instance to increase this value: [image]

@merefield Is there any way to enable PDF for all users but only for private messaging?

Thanks @pfaffman ! How about uploading docs (not images) limitations by TL?

[תמונה] merefield: It’s in your Files settings: Hi Robert! One of my community’s users is trying to attach a PDF in a comment (I see the error “Attachment Pena Network.pdf is missing”), and it’s not working. Where can I find the files settings in Discourse, so I can enable PDF uploads? I’m having a hard time locating it.

There is a separate setting for staff, but not tl. @VVoPham is you search the site settings for upload and maybe extension you should find it. You could also search jpg to find the settings that have that as a value.

Thanks! Found it, and we were able to upload PDFs successfully! :grin:

No. At least not easily.

PMs are just topics. If you enable pdf uploads it’ll be for all topics.
