S3 Access denied on pdf file type only

Question

Hi All,

I have created a S3 bucket to store images, video and pdf.

Public access is off.

I have applied a bucket policy and CORS to allow access only from a certain website.

I can upload all file types.

I can download all file types, **except PDF files.**

I receive the general XML access denied error.

I can't figure out why I can get and view other file types but not pdf.

Any advice / ideas would be great as I've spent hours trying to figure this out.

Thanks :)

Answer

Hi All, this issue is still unresolved, after many hours of painful research and trying different things.

Does anyone have a CORS policy that allows pdf files to be previewed or downloaded from S3 on a web page?

Thanks

Answer

I did find this stackoverflow link that deals with a REST api issue someone had.  Could this be the issue you're having, too?

They didn't use the S3ObjectInputStream.  They used InputStream instead and that caused their problem.
