PDF upload not working, shows spinning wheel, throws js errors

[jrajamaki]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
• The issue still exists against the latest master branch of bootstrap-fileinput.
• This is not an usage question. I confirm having read the plugin documentation and demos.
• This is not a general programming / coding question. (Those should be directed to the webtips Q & A forum).
• I have attempted to find the simplest possible steps to reproduce the issue.
• I have included a failing test as a pull request (Optional).

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Go to demo page
2. Upload pdf file

Expected behavior and actual behavior

When I follow those steps, I see spinning wheel without any preview and error in console: Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: End-Of-Stream.

I was expecting, seeing a file-icon as generic preview item.

Greetings. Cannot reproduce this issue in my environment here. Can you check if you have a local environment config conflict or PDF settings on browser preventing you doing something. Try it on different devices and systems to check the issue.

@kartik-v Hello! Tested with two other machines and also iPhone, does not work with any of them when uploading PDF file using Safari browser. For example, uploading The Foo Bird does not work.

Could this be related to #1862 ? The OP doesn't specify whether they use filetype.min.js, but the symptoms match. We had problems that match this description and found that the errors went away when we included filetype.js instead of filetype.min.js as described in #1862

[kartik-v]

Yes maybe related. The issue #1862 has a resolution. Do check with latest codebase and let know and will reopen this if issue persists.

@kartik-v - good news is that using filetype.js instead of filetype.min.js fixes the issue but bad news is that the bug still happens in 1b2aa33 when using filetype.min.js.

I have pushed a fix - check if this works. Thanks.
