I need to accept only pdf and doc file using input type file.

<input type="file" id="test" name="test" accept="application/msword,text/plain, application/pdf"/>

This is working in windows, but in ubunthu, it only accept pdf file

Answer

Change your code to this:

<input type="file" id="test" name="test" accept=".pdf,.doc"/>

The extensions should start with a dot "." and separated by a comma ","
