You should set your MIME types for your pdf. 'application/pdf' and/or 'application/x-pdf'

sorry for the quick answer, no time to go into detail but this should get you on the way

expand the list of available file types for upload

function add_pdf_mime_type($mimes) {

                        $mimes['pdf'] = 'application/pdf';

                        return $mimes;
}  
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'add_pdf_mime_type');
