Upload control for PDF attachments

I have got a File attachment control in my form. I want to control the behavior of uploaded file. It should only be a PDF file, i.e of type "applicaton/pdf" type. I've gone through https://doc.orbeon.com/xforms/controls/upload.html#validating-a-file-upload, but this will not restrict the uploading of another type of file. However, it'll show it as a validation error.

Following is the section for 'The accept attributes'. I tried to edit the source of an Orbeon form to put this:

<xf:upload ref="control-18" accept="application/pdf">

But I'm not sure where to put this line in the source. At what location should I put this line?

Hi Kush,

You can do this directly in Form Builder:

<http://discuss.orbeon.com/file/t119778/Supported_file_types.png>

You'll let me know if this works for you.

Alex

Hi Kush, were you able to use the Supported File Types in the Control
Settings to limit the files users can upload to PDFs? -Alex
