Hi,
I’m using Netlify Forms to handle file uploads (such as PDFs) in my Gatsby app. After file submission Netlify provides me a Cloudfront link to preview the file. I ran into some issues with files that have URL encode breaking characters in the filename. For example if a user uploads a file ‘MyDoc#1.pdf’, the (#) sign doesn’t get URL encoded and it breaks my Cloudfront link. So is there a way to fully url encode uploaded filenames for the cloudfront link?
Thanks!
Hey @apltola,
Thanks for reporting this! The file should be there- can you please try replacing special characters in the link yourself, i.e. MyDoc%231.pdf in the Cloudfront link?
Hi Jen, thanks for the reply.
Yes, the file is there and I’m able to preview it if I fix the encoding on the cloudfront url myself. But is there a way to get Netlify forms to do the url encoding to save the manual work?
I just filed an issue based on this report- we’ll report back if/when we ship an update

Hey @apltola,
This fix has shipped! Let us know if your links still aren’t working.
Hi Jen,
Everything seems to be working after the fix! This is now resolved, thanks!
