    Hi everyone,

    I’m simply unable to upload a PDF file through wordpress UI. I tried through media>add media with multi and browser uploader and in the actual post. The upload gets stuck while loading progress, sometimes at 30%, other times at 70%.

    Basics:
    – wordpress 4.1
    – OSX 10.10.1
    – Safari 8.0.2
    – I’ve tried through mozilla too.

    PDF
    – File size is 10,1mb, I have two and tried both
    – it’s created through adobe acrobat pro
    – filename is 2015_2016_marinkovic_weddings.pdf
    – I tried changing filename to 1.pdf, didn’t help

    Please help, I’m going crazy! I managed to upload my FAQ.pdf which is 5.7mb this morning…

    Thank you!

    What is the maximum allowed upload size WordPress is reporting in your dashboard? It should show in the bottom left corner of the “Upload New Media” dialog.

    It says 20mb. I managed to resize the PDF and size it to some 7mb. I was able to upload it after that, but it opens extremely slow, it’s painful!

    I’m not experienced at all, but maybe it’s a server regulation/issue somehow?

    Don’t know what to do, and it’s becoming really urgent now 🙁
