Description

A user tried to upload a PDF file but it failed to process. I found the following in my celery logfile.

This may be related to #5335. When I get this error, my mediagoblin log file simply displays the message below, same as 5335.

2015-08-24 21:01:57,717 INFO    [mediagoblin.media_types] No plugins handled extension .pdf
