I am using paperclip gem to allow users to upload their resumes , the problem is once the user clicks on upload . As mentioned in some tutorials , i set the paperclip env so that it gets the path in development , still it doesn't gets uploaded.

#Error that gets showed on browser 
RuntimeError in ProfilesController#update_resume

#profilescontroller#update_resume
def update_resume
    update! :notice => "Resume successfully updated!" do |success, failure|
      success.html {
          if !@user.section_layout.nil?
            ResumeSection.delete_all "user_id = #{@user.id}"
            @user.section_layout.each {|key,value|
              rs = ResumeSection.new(:section_name => key.encode("UTF-8"), :html => value.encode("UTF-8"), :user => @user)
              rs.save
            }
            redirect_to profile_path
          end
      }
      failure.html { render :template => "/profiles/edit/resume" }
    end
  end

Error

Here's your problem - 

RuntimeError (Input file needs to be pdf or word format)

I believe this line is the problem:

ResumeSection.new(:section_name => key.encode("UTF-8"), :html => value.encode("UTF-8"), :user => @user)

Validation

I'd ensure Paperclip only allows type validation of Word or PDF:

validates_attachment_content_type :resume, :content_type => ["application/pdf","application/vnd.ms-excel",     
         "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
         "application/msword", 
         "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document", 
         "text/plain"]

If you do this, can you let us know what happens?
