Never seen this issue before and don't have a Windows machine or VM readily available for testing.
Could be a content type or HTTP encoding issue. Try uploading the PDF zipped. If the PDF file is corrupted, it is being introspecting/changed in transit and not just mangled by the HTTP/IP stack. Make sure the PDFs are not infected with a malware and something is "cleaning" them up. Turn off any antivirus or antimalware in Windows. Also make sure nothing is filtering or throttling the IP port of the API. Test with PDFs created with other software and with others from a know good source. Upload them from another computer in case the computer you are using for the client is infected and infecting the PDF on transit or when being opened. Try uploading the PDF files via the API client from a Linux distro to see if the problem is at the sending or receiving end.
