Why does my pdf link isn't working?

Based on a recent update to our security policies, we've restricted the ability of new free accounts to deliver PDFs and Archive files like `zip` or `rar`. It's possible to upload and manage those files, and it's possible to download them using our Media Library, but a restriction applies to delivering them publicly.

Trying to deliver such resources would result in an HTTP 404.

For PDFs that are uploaded as `resource_type: 'image'`, it's possible to use those PDFs with our transformations features, so you can convert the PDFs to another image format and deliver them that way.

It's possible to lift this restriction from specific accounts, but please bear in mind that we also need to ensure that no malicious files are distributed through our service.

In order to remove the restriction, we would need a few details about the expected usage and origin of the PDFs and/or archive resources that are intended to be delivered.

If you'd like this restriction removed from your account, please open a request with us at support@cloudinary.com in which we would ask some specific details about the intended usage. 

Following our confirmation, it would be possible to remove the restriction and deliver PDFs or Archive resources
