In Rails 3.2.11 app I'm trying to publish my app to Heroku.
In the assets folder I have a pdf subfolder with some pdf files inside.
In my production.rb file I have added the following:
config.assets.precompile += %w[*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif *.pdf]
config.assets.precompile += ["*.js"]
config.assets.precompile += ["*.css"]
config.assets.precompile += ['pdf/*']
config.assets.precompile += %w( ricerca_wg.pdf )
If I check the pdf assets paths on my console I get:
Rails.application.config.assets.paths
# [
# "/Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/app/assets/images",
# "/Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/app/assets/javascripts",
# "/Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/app/assets/pdf",
# "/Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/app/assets/stylesheets",
# "/Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/vendor/assets/javascripts",
# "/Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/vendor/assets/stylesheets",
# "/Users/Augusto/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551/gems/jquery-rails-2.3.0/vendor/assets/javascripts",
# "/Users/Augusto/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551/gems/coffee-rails-3.2.2/lib/assets/javascripts",
# "/Users/Augusto/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551/gems/formtastic-2.1.1/app/assets/stylesheets"
# ]
But when I run
rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
everything is precompiled BUT the pdf files and in my production app on Heroku I get the following error:
ActionView::Template::Error (ricerca_wg.pdf isn't precompiled):

To compile your assets locally, run the assets:precompile task locally on your app. Make sure to use the production environment so that the production version of your assets are generated. A public/assets directory will be created. Inside this directory you'll find a manifest.
rails assets:precompile is the task that does the compilation (concatenation, minification, and preprocessing). When the task is run, Rails first looks at the files in the config.assets.precompile array. By default, this array includes application.js and application.css .
Two cleanup tasks: rake assets:clean is now a safe cleanup that only removes older assets that are no longer used, while rake assets:clobber nukes the entire public/assets directory. The clean task allows for rolling deploys that may still be linking to an old asset while the new assets are being built.
I don't think a pdf must be "precompiled".
if you just want to access the pdf from your app without using another service like S3, you can just put that pdf folder on your public folder of the rails app, and they will be available on the app as an static file.
www.domain.com/pdf/ricerca_wg.pdf
just be sure that the public/pdf folder isn't in the gitignore and it must work.

I believe the ricerca_wg.pdf is under /Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/app/assets/pdf/? If not, simply
config.assets.precompile += %w( ricerca_wg.pdf )
ricerca_wg.pdf under /Users/Augusto/Sites/wisegrowth/app/assets/pdf/ - it should be precompiled along with other pdf files from this directory
