          I have the same problem. I checked the log there are no errors, but the request failed with Error in conversion.

          Attached the screenshots.

          This still fails on Crewliste_Scansail.pdf with Confluence 6.6.2. Note error message is "There was a problem converting this attachment", with no request to create an issue.

          What's the plan?

          I also have this issue (with Confluence 5.7) and uploaded the PDF file which cause the trouble. I am wondering why this problem is open since 4 years...

          I only get this error message when attempting to preview .pdf files with fillable form fields. I can upload .pdf files to illustrate my issue if needed.

          I hope this helps.
