It doesn't seem very likely as Moodle doesn't open the files. 

Can you step through what you did and how you established they were corrupted by being uploaded?

How big are the files and what is your maximum file limit. Are they getting truncated?

Not sure I can help, but ... that posting to which you referred has been closed (2009) *and* dealt with version 1.9 of Moodle from what I saw.   Been a major change to files in Moodle 2 and 3 - not in Kansas anymore! ;)

I see you've said you've tried things ... mind disclosing what you have tried?

As well as moodle version and hosting setup.

It would also help to know which version of Moodle you're currently using. In any case, just as the others said, please elaborate on the steps you've taken to add a PDF or ZIP file to the course.
