    I have the wiki set to allow uploads of all types of docs…..
    “Allowed File Types:
    images, psd, pdf, swf, sit, tar, tgz, zip, gzip, bmp, gif, jpeg, jpg, jpe, png, txt, html, doc, docx, xl, xls, flv, mov, qt, mpg, mpeg, mp3, aiff, aif, aac”

    and I can upload them myself when logged in as admin - but users have reported (and I logged in as a user also) and tried to upload a number of PDFs….but get a MIME error…....
    “The file you are attempting to upload has invalid content for its MIME type.”

    I can upload image files when logged in as a user.

    I have tried a number of PDFs so am sure it is not something actually in the file…...and, again, it lets me as admin upload all those PDFs and they work fine once on the wiki….

    Any hints?
