Special characters in Forms for Editors upload

Hi,

I have a customer running DW 9.3.12 and using Forms for Editors. They are using a form to submit cv's for jobs, and some of the cv's have special characters in their filename, like comma (,) and plus (+).

The upload process works fine, but when our customer needs to look into these cv's from inside DW, the files cannot be opened, as the filenames contain illegal characters. They cannot rename them either from inside DW.

Is this a known problem as has it been solved in a later version of DW?

Hi Kurt,

Try to force the download of the file through the Download functionality of DW instead of trying to open it in the browser.

It will require some changes in the Email template but it might just solve your problem.

Oh, and try to URL encode the file when passing it to the Download.

I have attached a sample file that might help you
