O Perfect Love (Burleigh, Harry Thacker) ⟨User:Owaine1 [#29129]

The file is a blank PDF.

I'm sorry I do not understand this as it has 450KB of data. Will try uploading again. I am on classic skin, which seemed to sort these issues from before.

Its still blank, you should take a look at it before uploading. And also please make sure your entering the City, Year and Plate Number (if applicable) when uploading also, just putting the publisher is ground for deletion as well.

Ok, I've tried for the third time and as per instruction of entering City, Year and Plate Number. Maybe that was triggering it. Renamed file to "o_perfect_love_burleigh_attempt_three.pdf" too. It shows up fine, clicking the link, as it has the previous two times.

Nope still getting a blank image, even downloaded this time to my computer and looked in my PDF Editor, getting a insufficient data error.

Uploaded 4th time, this time on modern skin. I can again see the file my end.

Still no but I did download the file from the source you got this from this time and its really over 4mbs, not 450 Kbs and overwritten your upload and that worked. Not sure how your able to see the file on your end but something was wrong with the download, it should not be that small unless you converted it to a black and white file.

Yes I always compress the files to the CCITT Group 4 so they are ~90% smaller. Maybe that is the issue. But the other file I did, "Jean" also by Burleigh had no problem going through. I think this is just going to be a persistent problem as it has happened so many times before. But thank you for your help and persistence.

That file has three blank pages, two at the start but then the music is there on the third page, why start with two blank pages.

Now the "Jean" is exactly not what I do not see from download and from what I did in original. I see downloaded as I see uploaded 6 pages (as is from the source link): 1: title page, 2: lyrics, 3–5: the main music, 6: back cover with other music advertised. So I just don't know. Appreciate your time, but I just don't think the issue is going to be resolved other than to stop contributing scans (which I did last time). Of note, both pages 1 and 2 of "Jean" file are a smaller file size than the other pages being 18 Kilobytes and 11 Kilobytes respectively, then 29kB, 29kB, 28kB, 52kB. Total 167kB. Of note, I recall smallest Ethel Smyth file which kept not getting accepted last year (?) was about 7kB. So I don't know if there is a post-processing of the files. That's my guess. But I'll stop contributing for now. Thanks for your time and kind regards.
