I've recently had an instance where a website would not accept my upload because it 'wasn't a pdf'. As it turned out, the website was case-sensitive regarding uploads, and would only accept .pdf. The file I tried to upload was .PDF, courtesy of my distiller. I don't think I would have been able to upload the file without going into the dos-prompt and changing the extension to lower case. Actually, if I had not known about the prompt, I'd never have been able to figure out what the problem was...
