Solution

  • There are too many spaces in the filter. It will throw off the pattern matching.

    'Remove all the extra spaces
fichier.Filter = "PDF Files|*.pdf"

    For example if doing pdf and all other files

    'Note no stray spaces where they are not needed
fichier.Filter = "PDF Files|*.pdf|All files(*.*)|*.*"
