Hi Greg,
We tried reproduce this issue locally, but it can't reproduced. It was reproduced occasionally for us,
And further, we have attached the issue screenshot(Previously reproduced one),
Please check the issue from your end, with the attached screenshot.
Thanks,

2 years agoThat error in your screenshot would occur when attempting to view a .pdf file with a size of 0 bytes, since there's no file content to view. That being the case, you'll need to investigate why the file was uploaded without content.
I tested this out myself and haven't been able to reproduce an issue of unexpected 0 byte file uploads, and I don't see other reports of any issues like this, so it sounds like it's specific to your particular environment/scenario. That being the case, you'll need to troubleshoot the uploads locally.
