use blob and check the file type? or use pdf end point or docx end point i guess.

you can filter by file types in your FileRouter (or MIME types to be exact). this should only allow pdf and word files:

// src\app\api\uploadthing\core.ts
// FileRouter for your app, can contain multiple FileRoutes
export const ourFileRouter = {
  // Define as many FileRoutes as you like, each with a unique routeSlug
  imageUploader: f({
    "application/msword": { maxFileSize: "4MB" },
    "application/pdf": { maxFileSize: "4MB" },
  })

// src\app\api\uploadthing\core.ts
// FileRouter for your app, can contain multiple FileRoutes
export const ourFileRouter = {
  // Define as many FileRoutes as you like, each with a unique routeSlug
  imageUploader: f({
    "application/msword": { maxFileSize: "4MB" },
    "application/pdf": { maxFileSize: "4MB" },
  })
