Adobe Check Out & Open

[Zombie_Tech]

Hi Guys,

 

Hope you are all doing fine on this lovely summer's day! Thankful for the AC in the office.

 

I seem to be running into an issue with opening PDF files from Sharepoint / OneDrive synced to a machine. It keeps popping up with a check out & open option.

 

I have created a GPO reg key to disabled Feature Lockdown and set the value to 1 however this does not seem to be helping.

 

What am I missing?

I had this recently and couldn't get it to work as a local machine setting. Worked for local user though:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown\cSharePoint

 

bDisableSharePointFeatures

dword:00000001

Thanks - I will give that a go and get back to you.

Sorry but that has not worked for me! It's still asking me to checkout the file.

Weird,

 

I've just checked and I have that in both local machine and current users - I'll have a look see which one is actually working!

No problem! Don't break your setup though

No worries, only my workstation - just out of interest did you log off and back in?

Yes - Did a gpupdate /force and did a full restart of the machine.

I've taken both settings out the registry and it's not started prompting me so that's really weird.

The current user one definitely removed the SharePoint / Office 365 server options from the file menu for me though.

The only other thing I did do was disable 'require checkout' on the settings for the SharePoint site - might be a combination of the 2 things that stops it perhaps.
