Hi Joe,
Thanks for the idea! Just tested a PDF file inside a ZIP file...worked fine! Makes it all the more reasonable to allow uploads of PDFs directly. Regards, Joe

Apparently, we have document type files set as disallowed. Not sure why. I guess for now you can do a zip.

@tank I think PDFs are disallowed by default or some reason. See any reason against allowing pdfs directly?

It seems that the forum does not allow a PDF file as an attachment to a post. When I tried it, I got this:

AutoHotkey forum does not allow PDF upload.png
AutoHotkey forum does not allow PDF upload.png (3.02 KiB) Viewed 316 times

Is that a known restriction, or temporary glitch, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Joe
