Error when uploading PDF - Expression Engine

Expression Engine's file uploader is rejecting uploaded PDF files and others. Yet the folders have the correct permissions and the file upload preferences are correct.

The issue was caused by Expression Engine's XSS Filtering setting. The filter was rejecting valid PDF files because they contained even simple URLs.

Turning this off fixed the problem.

Admin -> Security & Privacy -> Security & Sessions and change Apply XSS Filtering to uploaded files?
