On a form, using the value "image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of pre-configured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .ico, .svg, .svgz, .tif, .tiff, .ai, .drw, .pct, .psp, .xcf, .psd, .raw)?

Say I wanted to add .gif, .jfif or .ico. I find this array limited, how can I add types to image?

<input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" id="file" />

mimeTypes.rdf does not seem to allow this.

mimeTypes.rdf has nothing to do with web development. It's a file that stores your file handling preferences (e.g. if you want ZIP files automatically saved or opened).

You can't change the file types of the pre-defined content specifiers (audio/*, video/*, image/*), but you can specify additional MIME types. To add PDF to your above example, 


<input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*,application/pdf" id="file" />
