Security

If any threats are found when uploading files, the upload will be stopped. This includes blocking dangerous file extensions. Normally PKB displays PDFs within your record, although if we detect that a PDF includes embedded Javascript and/or files then the PDF will be available for download only as a precaution.

The following table shows how our security rules will apply. Note that .docx files will be converted to PDFs and follow the rules for PDF.

We don’t accept .rar files due to potential security risks. If you wish to upload a .rar file to your record, extract the files first & then you should be able to upload them.
