Dropzone Accepted Files Issue

Question

I have set Dropzone to only allow PDfs

acceptedFiles: "application/pdf"

However whenever I upload a PDF it throws an error. In the response it is stating that the file I tried uploading was an unkown file type.

type: "unknown/data"

I am not sure how to handle this or fix it. I have tried multiple PDF files from all different sources.

Are the first two lines important? If so what effect do they have on the question? How will the third line help to solve the problem? "Try this" answers need to explain how and why the person proposing them thinks it will help, otherwise they are comments and not answers. – Gley

No, first two lines are not important. – Alizaalizarin
