What file types are accepted when uploading attachments in forms?

When uploading attachments into a form submission, only PDFs are accepted at this time.

Attachment fields in Dashpivot forms will not accept the following file formats:

  • Word

  • Excel (.xls or .csv)

  • Photo files (.jpeg, .png, etc)

In addition to this, if your PDF file is password protected, you'll need to remove the password before you'll be able to successfully upload it into your form submission.

If your PDF is password protected, you will get an error message 'Attachment cannot be processed'

Tools like Adobe allow you to remove the password from your PDF files, in addition to a number of free tools on the internet.

Here is a help guide for removing passwords from PDFs in Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/resources/how-to-remove-pdf-password.html

Once your password is removed, you will be able to successfully upload your attachment within the form submission with the new file.
