Thanks for the reply. I’m running the latest version, 4.5.3.
Hello David,
On activation of this plugin we have checked if “wp-content/uploads” not created then we have created it and makes its permission as 0777, so might be this causes the error message.
If you can then please do replace code of wp-advanced-pdf.php file on line number 407:
if (! file_exists ( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' )) {
@mkdir ( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads', 0777, true );
}
If this does not work or you cannot do this then please contact us on support@cedcommerce.com so that our team can help you to resolve this issue
Thanks

Giving any directory, even uploads, 777 permissions is a huge security vulnerability. I guess I won’t be using this plugin. Thanks.
Hello David,
Apology for inconvenience!
We have fixed this issue and launched new version (1.0.7).
Now we are only creating “uploads” folder if it does not exist and no disturbance with permission, it will be same as given by server. So no issues related with permission and security now.
Hope this time you will not get any issue while activating.
Thanks
