Unable to upload a PDF to player handouts.

Tried to upload a PDF (516k) to the player handouts and it's just stuck with no feedback. I tried creating a different player handout but that didn't work either. Thoughts?
Seconded, I ran into the same problem.
The PDF file format isn't yet supported. There was already a note about this on the dev's list, so I've added your comments to it.
Sorry about that. I browsed a few pages of already made bug posts but didn't see one. Thanks for the info.
u can workaround by saving as picture and upload that. (jpegs worked very well for me so far, so I'd recommend using that pic format)
It'd be nice to be able to upload word files too (for character sheets).
Looking forward to an update on this as well. We tried uploading pdf character sheets last night.
I have had some success by copying and pasting the content out of Word files into the text windows of character cards and handouts. It doesn't do headers, footers, tables, or graphical objects, but it does do fonts, boldface and italic, different point sizes, and paragraph indents and outdents. I think it might be converting to RTF. I'm looking forward hopefully for PDF support, because print-to-PDF allows me to easily convert anything to PDF. Until (and unless) that happens I'm using screencaps converted to GIF for things that need graphics and table, and RTF for things that need to be edited, and reminding myself that Roll20 is a shared virtual tabletop, not a word processor nor a graphics editing package.
Where is the list of supported file types???
