Change document to be opened on kBeforeOpenDocSignalResponderService

Question

Hello,
I want to change the document being opened by InDesign within kBeforeOpenDocSignalResponderService.
This means the user opens a document stored on a fileserver (over a slow network), and I want to copy this file to a local drive and then open the local copy of the document.
I tried this code based on SDKSample "DocWatch", but it didn´t work:
void DocWchResponder::Respond(ISignalMgr* signalMgr)
     int signalID = signalMgr->GetServiceID().Get();
     if (signalID == kBeforeOpenDocSignalResponderService)
          InterfacePtr<IDocumentSignalData> docData(signalMgr, UseDefaultIID());
          ICommand* theCmd = docData->GetCommand();
          PMString localFileName("c:\\local.indd");
          IDFile localFile(localFileName);
          docData->Set(theCmd, localFile, UIDRef::gNull, kSuppressUI);
Any ideas what I should do to change the to be opened document ?
Thanks,
Detlef

SMB is a protocol that has had many flaws in the past. It is used quite often by malware to spread from server to server.
So yes, this might expose your LAN to certain attacks in the case your DMZ would become compromised and thus might be considered a security issue.
Also be aware you cannot open 'just one share' to make your clients able to print. If you expose SMB, for exmaple the default c$ share will also be available from within DMZ.
