Could you please try uploading a file that is not a scanned PDF file?

Hi Jesse,

 

Can you please let me know which part of your profile are you trying to upload this file to? If you can send a screenshot of the error message so that I can take a closer look that would be extremely helpful. We look forward to your response.

Thanks for sharing this screenshot with us, Jesse.

Could you please try uploading file that is not a scanned PDF file? Unfortunately, we do not currently support scanned PDF documents.

If you're uploading a PDF document that is not a scan, could you please try to clear your cache and cookies or use a different browser? Did it give you the same error?
