first use another pdf file to upload if you are facing same problem then you have to add file type in CI mimes.php file

Code:
application/config/mimes.php

search pdf

replace the following with exiting one in pdf

array('application/pdf', 'application/x-download','image/ipeg')

Also, if you're specifying an array in your file uploading library config for allowed types, put PDF at the start.

I had a similar problem while trying to upload a PDF. My 'allowed_filetypes' setting was:

Code:
$file_config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|doc|gif|pdf|xls|png|zip|ai|psd|txt|rtf|htm|html|eml';

As mattpointblank suggested I put the 'pdf' type at the beginning as such:

Code:
$file_config['allowed_types'] = 'pdf|jpg|doc|gif|xls|png|zip|ai|psd|txt|rtf|htm|html|eml';

and now it works.

Another note is that this worked fine before moving my app to a new server. I do not know what the difference is. I do know that I used the same browser/version for both servers though.
