Using aspose add on

I'm using cloudinary to allow users to upload files with many different extensions from .docs and .pdfs to .jpgs and .pngs, so i decided to use the aspose add on. However, I am having an issue with allowing users to upload the different files with the same uploader.

I'm using client side uploading with carreierwave in Ruby on Rails, so i have

<%= f.cl_image_upload(:attachment, allowed_formats:["jpg", "jpeg", "pdf", "png", "doc", "docx"], :resource_type => 'auto', :raw_convert => 'aspose') %>

to allow users to attach their files.

However, when the user uploads an image or a pdf(files which arent raw and doesnt need conversion with aspose) i get a 500 error saying that the file type is not supported by aspose. Therefore, i am forced to have two uploaders, one for images and pdfs and another for raw files, which is not good in terms of user experience.

So, i was wondering if there was a way to automatically detect if its a raw file or not, and only call :raw_convert => 'aspose' when its a raw file.

To further clarify, right now I have two image uploaders like this:

<%= f.cl_image_upload(:attachment, allowed_formats:["jpg", "jpeg", "pdf", "png", "doc", "docx"], :resource_type => 'auto') %>

the first one to support non-raw files and second for raw files, but I would like to have just a single uploader that can detect if its a raw file and call aspose conversion when appropriate
