I am doing a very routine upload of a small pdf file to one of two upload directories and get the following error:
A problem was encountered while attempting to upload your file
I checked the path to the directory and it is correct. I checked the permissions and they appear to be in order as well.
I also confirmed that all file types are allowed.
Is there something else I am missing?
Thanks.

Forrest,
What version and build of EE are you using?
Are you a SuperAdmin when uploading the PDF?
If you goto Security and Session Preferences and turn off Apply XSS Filtering to uploaded files? does it work?
CP Home › Admin › System Preferences › Security and Session Preferences
Are you uploading via the native upload function or an extension or field-type of some sorts?
