I get this error when trying to upload a pdf, after upgrading site to Joomla 5:
499 attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `PDF' @ error/constitute.c/IsCoderAuthorized/426
Is it a known bug?
Hi
Have never seen this before!! Maybe it is some pdf management facility you have on your site that is not compatible with Joomla 5
Could you advise which version of php and jDownloads you have.
Does this happen when uploading other types of file?

I tested a text file, and it uploaded without problem. So the pdf seems to be the problem.
Prior, with Joomla 4.4.4 and same php-version, it worked well.
It is the latest jDownload-version.
Details about the server, php and Joomla site
jDownloads Version 4.0.42 Stable
This is the latest, as I understand.
How are you uploading the file? Is it when creating a new Download or are you using the Files facility ?
How large is the failing PDF file?
Colin
PS Yes jD4.0.42 is the latest version
Hi,
I can upload a pdf file without any problems with Joomla 5 and jDownloads.
So for me it doesn't seem to be a jDownloads error. It's more likely a misconfiguration. The Imagemagick security policy doesn't seem to allow them to do this pdf to png conversion.
When you use the google search with the error message you should find a lot results and solutions. Or contact your hoster.
You where right Erno.
I had fallen for the temptation to create thumbnails of pdf-files.
As soon as I deactivated that it started working as normal :)
Thankyou
Normally also the create thumbnails of pdf files schould work as expected. If the required extensions have been installed on the server and correctly configured by the hoster. ;)
