Problem Description:

User gets the following error when trying to upload a PDF file using eBweb:

'The signature of the uploaded file does not match that sent by the client'

Cause:

This actual cause of the error is unknown as of writing. This error has occurred to "PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)" files being added in eBweb.

Solution:

Open the file in Acrobat and use File -> Properties to find out your file's version. If the version is 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x), then use Acrobat's File -> Save As option to save the file to a different folder (so that you can keep the original filename). Upload this newly created file using eBweb.

Workaround:

If you do not want to use the Acrobat File -> Save As option to create a new file, then use eB Director to upload the original file.
