Why can't SharePoint simply restrict access to "Preview Only"? EneaAntonicelli I don't get the download option with 'Restricted view'. You can see it yourself:. It's rubbish. It does not work as intended. The restricted view wont even let users access the library. This whole application is garbage to be honest. How long has this been around without Microsoft addressing basic issues.
The movement of folders for example. It is absolute hell. Whether you do it in modern view, or in file explorer, you either cannot access parent directories, or files just vanish without the system generating a debuggable error. Microsoft is useless when it comes to questions such as this. It's infuriating. Then apply 'Restricted View' or 'View Only' per library or per folder. Not fun but it seems to work.
Already tried. I am not sure if the people that give these suggestions out in the forums above not you, the links actually test their advice. I created a custom permission level and spent 3 hours individually trying different combinations of permissions. Again, microsoft stated this is a known issue due to the fact that PDFs and other files have no server-side file handlers. There is no way to do this and actually limit downloading.
You can limit downloading for word files all day. Thank you for your suggestions however. And I have found, if you prevent the ability to download a PDfF you can still print it, which circumvents the download restriction as you can print it to another PDF etc etc.

I'm looking for recommendations for the best way to make PDF documents viewable on customer community but not downloadable. I know that Salesforce Content can be restricted that way but I wasn't sure if it could be applied to community. I also thought about PDF's attached to Knowledge articles in the community, but I wasn't sure if you could dis-allow downloading with Knowledge.
From a practical standpoint, a PDF has to be downloaded into the browser for it to be opened by the Acrobat Reader plug-in.
Once it's there, someone can always do a "Save As" in order to save the document locally. Otherwise, its all going to be handled by browser plug-ins. I think you're going to need to do something server side to work around this issue.
I've not done this before, but I'm guessing you'd need to create a controller to process each page as a blob. Someone else may have a more specific suggestion on the details of how to do what you're asking. I hope this at least helps provide some guidance or general direction for you. I still don't believe that "just hit the download button" is a good answer to the question "[how can I] download [a] PDF from a website that has no such option to download that PDF". Obviously FyTg is not a "techie" user and getting into the intricacies of how that PDF file he is viewing is not being served to him a PDF is not gonna solve his problem.
I never use Chrome, but I just opened it and checked settings. To set Chrome to download pdf files rather than opening them in the Chrome viewer, open Settings, click on Privacy and security, then Site Settings. Find Permissions and click on Additional permissions at the bottom of that section. Scroll way down the page to Additional content settings where you'll find PDF documents as the fourth entry.
That's cleverly hidden setting deep in the bowels of Chrome will solve your problem in that browser. Firefox makes this easier. Go to General settings and scroll a little more than halfway down the page to Applications. Choose your desired outcome for that item in the right column. I'm not sure of the diffence between the left column choices, so I'd set them both. Edge seems to be the easiest of all. Click on Cookies and site permissions. Scroll way down to PDF documents and click.
Then toggle Always download PDF files on or off. Hi, I have the same problem. Can you plz help me to download this file? Mikel, please show a complete screen shot of your browser window, if you can.

Showing results for. The way is to funnel your PDF into another software. For the purpose of this tutorial, I am using Opera browser which you can download here. For those who are not familiar with Opera browser, it has been a player in the web browser industry for more than two decades. However, it lags behind popular browsers like Chrome and Firefox in terms of user base.
Since , the core code of the browser is based from the open-source Chromium browser, which Google Chrome is also based. While Chrome and Opera are both based from Chromium, I haven't tested this trick in Chrome so I won't guarantee that it will work. As of this writing, the version I am using for Opera is What you do is to open your PDF in your Opera browser.
Opening PDFs within the browser is very common. You may have experienced opening a PDF attachment in an email and your web browser will open it directly instead of asking you where to save the file.
