Paste the exact message. I’ll translate it into something useful.
Upload errors are often vague
A message that only says “upload failed” can hide several very different causes. Ninjitzu tries to separate the symptom from the rule.
Look for unsupported, file type, extension, PDF, JPG, or PNG.
Password, encryption, page count, orientation, or damaged PDF structure may matter.
Timeout, server error, unavailable, or try again later may point away from the file itself.
