 * Hi, I try to upload pdf in my comment but it is not working. I am sure I have
   enabled pdf to be uploaded.

 * I tested with the default WordPress theme and BB theme, both are not working.

 * Also it could be a conflict with one of the installed plugins or a hosting issue.

 * Hi, did you try in the comment section? I tried to upload the files when writing
   a comment.
 * Do you have a list of plugins that causes conflict? My site is having Learndash
   and Buddy boss platform

 * I just realised only that particular pdf file couldn’t be uploaded and other 
   pdf files are working fine. It is weird.

 * Can you please upload this file somewhere and send a link here? I will try to
   reproduce this problem.
 * > Do you have a list of plugins that causes conflict?
 * No, there is no such list. You can disable all plugins if you suspect a conflict.
 * > My site is having Learndash and Buddy boss platform
 * Learndash and Buddy boss are paid plugins. Therefore, I have no access to them.
   You can contact their support. Perhaps they will suggest something.

 * I am facing the same problem as this guy [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-file-to-media-library-unexpected-response-from-the-server/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-file-to-media-library-unexpected-response-from-the-server/)
 * After I saw his post, I tried with other pdf files and it is working. So I think
   it might not be your plugin problem.

 * Strange situation.
    I tried attaching your file to a comment and it worked. [https://i.imgur.com/ksRvk7s.png](https://i.imgur.com/ksRvk7s.png)
 * Perhaps something with the hosting? I don’t know how this behavior can be explained
   🙁 .
