Attach .txt, .pdf or zip file with skype bot using botframework rest-api

Question

I was trying to attach .txt and .pdf file to skype bot using rest-api but got this error:

{
"error": {
    "code": "BadArgument",
    "message": "Unknown attachment type"
}

}

Meanwhile I found Rest API attachment error, can anyone confirm if pdf or text file attachment are restricted or not as there is no clear declaration in their api? I tried with this format:

 {
    "type": "message",

   "recipient": {
        "id": "xxxxxxxJ0niMZOII93xxxxL1E"
    },
    "text": "Here's a picture of the duck I was telling you about.",
    "attachments": [
        {
          "contentType": "application/pdf",
          "contentUrl": "myfileurl",
          "name": "filename.pdf"
        }
    ]
}

Thanks in advance.

Sending attachments such as PDFs is not supported in bots yet due to security concerns. Skype can only send media attachments such as audio and video.
