Error: failed to augment uploaded PDF file.
Then:
- open the pdf in the full version of Adobe Acrobat, click on File -> Save As -> Optimized PDF...
- Rename the optimized file to the name of the file that was uploaded.
- Upload the file again
What is happening here is that prepublication PDF files get augmented with text that says "DRAFT" and a header. Sometimes the augmentation fails. Using Acrobat to save the file as an optimized file cleans up problems in the pdf file
