In the system, uploaded files – for example from applicants – are converted to PDF format by default. This measure is intended to prevent any potentially harmful software from reaching your PC via the original files. We recommend keeping this setting enabled.
If you want to allow authorized persons to download original files (for example, .doc files), you can bypass the default conversion using a special permission.
Attention
Review security aspects
Carefully consider whether the selected group should have access to non-converted files. The associated security risks must be weighed carefully. The responsibility for granting this permission lies solely with you.
