Hi, you can try to add the code in your htaccess to allow the pdf, but i dont think that will work either, but you can try. I dont think you can attach application files into the newsfeed for security reasons. You may need to use my plugin
https://developers.oxwall.com/store/item/1277
but lets see if we can get you setup without using that plugin because the plugin is designed to set the documents per user and if thats not what you want then lets see if we can just get you the ability to upload the pdf.
add this to your htaccess file and see if that helps
AddType application/pdf .pdf
if you get a 500 error it probably means that your host wont allow you to do that.

newsfeed can upload only photos.
the setting you mentioned is related to the blog and forum attachments.
what you can to achieve is considered as custom code modification.

yes that one on that page, but i dont think it will work from what ross said. The only other thing besides the plugin you could try is to create a special folder in the oxwall root for your special files and then upload those files there. Then add the code to your htaccess from this post linked below
https://developers.oxwall.com/forum/topic/47116
and then create a custom page via oxwall admin and put the html file links on that page. It wont be a perfect setup but it might get you by for now. My plugin will do all of this for you and more however if you can do it for free why not right... lol :) Give it a try ;) Let me know if you need any help ;)

Dave! its application allows you to upload doc, pdf files, etc. in the newsfeed?
Any site user could upload doc, pdf, etc? The application works as upload a photo with the newsfeed? You have a demo running? I am using Oxwall intranet for my company, we need to share documents in general. thanks

For everyone who often deals with various files in the course of their work, I advise you to read the blog https://www.pdfplatform.com/blog/how-do-i-split-a-pdf-into-multiple-documents-without-acrobat/ to understand how to quickly split a PDF file into several parts without serious time costs. This approach will provide you with a fairly quick solution to work tasks. The main thing is that this is a completely free tool.
