Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
Summary :
We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
i.e
Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7.
Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,
Victoria

Folder actions no longer works after migration

The script below was working perfectly on an iMac G4. I use it as a type of print spooler for a DOS application that runs in Dosbox for OS X (also works for OS9 apps). I just send the file to the monitored folder and the script prints the contents and deletes the file from the folder.
I moved to an iMac G5 and used Setup Assistant to transfer my system (no lectures please...). Configure Folder Actions indicates that the script is enabled for the particular folder. However the Folder Action is no longer triggered when I add files to the monitored folder. I have tried repairing permissions, recompiling the script, deleting the folder and creating a new one...
Is this a quirk of migration?
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
delay 20 -- time for job to finish?
repeat with each_item in added_items
tell application "Printer Setup Utility" to open each_item
delay 40 -- time before file is deleted from folder
tell application "Finder" to delete each_item
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
quit
end tell
end repeat
end adding folder items to

Michael,
That script seems to work here.
You could check whether the script is actually attached by using the Folder Actions Setup utility which is located here:
~/Applications/AppleScript
This utility gives you all the folders and their attached scripts in one window.
You might also want to check to see whether locating your script in the following location helps:
~/Library/Scripts/FolderActions
as that is where the utility wants them to go when you are attaching a folder action script to a folder.

Drag and drop of html-files into Firefox 3.0.1 no longer works after going from XP to Win7

I use firefox portable 3.0.1 on an external disk.
Used to have a portable PC with XP SP2, now have a new Windows7 Professional machine.
On the XP machine I was able to open Firefox from the USB disk and drag&drop html-files into its window to open them. Suddenly on Windows7 this no longer works?? Any ideas/fixes?
Note: I do have to start the portable Firefox in XP SP2 compatibility mode, after which it seems to work fine (apart from this issue thus far)
A lot of configuration went in this Firefox portable install, so it would be nice to get this to work with a quick fix instead of having to start from scratch with a newer version.

No checkbox appears in dialong box to "use local drafts folder"

Using Windows 8.1, ,Word 2013, and IE 11. When I edit a document from SharePoint Foundation 2010 (Hosted), no checkbox appears in the Microsoft Internet Explorer dialog box to "use local drafts folder". As a result, no SharePoint
Drafts folder is created in the location specified under Word 2013 Save Option for offline editing and the SharePoint file is not downloaded locally. I performed the following troubshooting steps below with no fix so far.
1) Confirmed that "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is "enabled" as an add-on under IE.
2) Confirmed that Word 2013 Save setting for offline editing are marked as follows:
Save checked-out files to “The server drafts location on this computer”
Server draft location: \\users\xxxx\documents\SharePoint Drafts
3) Tried the SharePoint checkout and editing on a Windows 7, IE 11, Word 2010 workstation and there was no issue. Checkbox appears.
I've exhausted all resources. Please assist with providing next steps. Unable to load a Screen shot below due to account validation critieria.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the “use local drafts folder”.
In Office 2013 it is by design.
The “Use my local drafts
folder” functionality has been removed for Office
2013.
This step has been done in order to improve the Client/Server communication by removing some of the redundant network calls generated by this process.
In order to get office files synchronized with SharePoint document libraries you could
use SkyDrive Pro instead.
SkyDrive Pro is getting installed with Office 2013 but is available as a standalone setup as well. But please note that SkyDrive Pro requires to have a SharePoint server
2013 installed or a O365 subscription, which brings SPO
2013.
If you want to use the “use my local drafts folder”, you should install the Office 2010 instead of Office 2013.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Missing "Use My Local Drafts Folder" Checkbox

We work with Office 2010 32 bit and SharePoint 2010. After we update the Lync to 2013 version, we find in SP at check out "Use My Local Drafts Folder" checkbox does not appear any more. I read this article
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/27e03f00-7549-4ca9-8973-9620ce40a78c/no-checkbox-appears-in-dialong-box-to-use-local-drafts-folder?forum=sharepointadminprevious, it said The “Use my local drafts folder” functionality has
been removed for Office 2013. Actually we didn't install Word, Excel 2013.... But since Lync 2013 belongs to Office 2013 now, perhaps during install of Lync 2013 some office 2013 features or components have been also installed.
I need a workaround, because we don't plan to update to Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013. Can I uninstall some office 2013 components to active "Use My Local Drafts Folder" again?

I have found the solution. I uninstall the "Office Shared Features" and "Office Tools" from Lync 2013 and keep just Lync 2013 component. Then I have repaired the Office 2010. After that I see "My Local Drafts Folder"
again and Lync 2013 works also. Yeah :-)

Can't check out one file individually

Hi
I am on Dreamweaver CS5 on PC and have this weird problem where when I click on an individual file on the "Remote Server" side of the file menu and then press the "Get" icon - Dreamweaver keeps asking me "Are you sure you want to check out the entire site?". The only available options at this point are Ok and Cancel.
Anybody experienced this problem before? I have no way of checking out individual files!
Cheers
Graham

Are you the only one working on this site? If so, you should disable the check-in/check-out option as it really has no benefit UNLESS you are working from several different locations and are concerned about version control.
Have you tried just double clicking on the local file instead of your procedure? That will always force the GET and CO of the remote file.

SharePoint "Use my local drafts folder" not to be displayed

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent SharePoint from displaying “Use
my local drafts folder” dialog box and
disable this option on default so users won't be able to store files locally?

I see a similar thread here - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f7e2ee0d-92ff-4bfe-95e7-1ba7b95514cc/disable-the-use-my-local-drafts-folder-option-in-sharepoint-2010-open-document-dialog-box?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
which mentions that You can not directly edit that dialog (it's an activex control client side). But you can set
group policy to modify the office client behavior

Error discarding checkout when 'Use my Local Draft folder' is checked

We are getting the error 'The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070002)' when discarding checkouts in our production 2010 environment. Steps to repro are:
upload a file to a document library (OOB Shared Documents is fine)
check the document in the library view
Choose 'check out'
Check 'Use my local drafts folder' when prompted, if it is not checked by default
Once checked out, check the box again and choose 'discard check out'
After the browser hangs for a bit, we get the error above. We've reproed this on multiple machines, but mine is 64bit Windows 7 with IE 8.
Browsing to 'SharePoint Drafts' on the client machine confirms the file is present. I suspected UAC or Protected Mode, based on similar issues posted online about SP 2007. However, I've confirmed protected mode is off for this site, and it is
listed as 'Local Intranet', with the default settings for that zone.

Hi danroot,
Please send the screenshot of the error into the forum.
What is your Internet Explorer’s version? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
If you use 32 bit, try to use Internet Explorer 64 bit, then check the effect.
Which account did you use to log into the client and SharePoint site? Are they the same account?
Make sure the account who log into the client has enough permission the “SharePoint drafts” folder.
Try to use another account to log into the SharePoint site, check the effect.
Hope this is helpful.

the option to open a PDF in the browser is based on the Web Application's list of allowed MIME types... it cannot be controlled on a per-library basis.

While the steps below are fine for Word (and I gather that Excel, Powerpoint have similar steps), what
about Project 2007? We have Project 2007 SP3, and (a) it doesn't have an Office Button like the core Office 2007 products, and (b) the SharePoint Local Drafts folder isn't listed in the Save options. Please advise!

Hi,
You can change the location of your local drafts folder where your files are placed while they are
checked out to you in Office system program: click “Microsoft Office Button”>select “Word Options”>select “Save”>in
Offline editing options for document management server files> in Server drafts location
box, type the location on your hard disk where you want to work with checked-out files, or click
Browse and find the location.

Use my local drafts folder - Some Yes, Some No

Hello,
I have recently upgraded to MOSS 2007. When checking out a file some of my users get the prompt to use my local drafts folder and some do not. Does anyone know why not all users are getting this prompt?
Thank you,
Dan

Hi,
If the program that you want to use to edit the file is compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, you may see a message that asks if you want to work with the file as a local draft. If you want to work on a copy of the file on your hard disk, leave the “Use my local drafts folder” check box selected. If you want the draft copy to be stored on the server while it is checked out to you, clear the check box.
If you are checking out a file that was created by a program that isn't compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, the Use my local drafts folder check box does not appear and you cannot work with the file offline

Check out all files of a LabVIEW-Project

We are using LaV 8.5 and Visual Source Safe in a large project.
How can I easy check out all files in my LabVIEW-Project (.lvporj) direcly in LabVIEW, without using Visual Source Safe.
Do I've overseen a simple solution for that?
Actually I have to open al folders /structures, select all files the chcek out.
Message Edited by zav on 07-22-2008 01:39 AM

If you select a (virtual) folder sub-items will be checked out as well.
This is not valid for library folders (lvlib/xcontrol/lvclass) where only the library itself will be checked out.

How to force checked out CSV Files to open in Excel and not in Notepad

Hi,
I'm looking for some pointers / direction.
.CSV files on SharePoint 2010 document library opens up in notepad by default. I did the DocIcon.xml CSV entry, changed the MIME type in IIS and did the IIS reset. Also on client computer CSV file is associated with MS Excel 2013. Now clicking a CSV file
opens it up in MS Excel.
Now a user checks out a CSV file and the same user clicks on the CSV file, the file is opening in notepad! If other users clicks on the same checked out file (checked out by the first user) it opens up in Excel for them. I've tried the 'Edit in Microsoft
Excel' from the pop up menu but with same result.
How can I force a checked out CSV file to open in MS Excel?
Thanks

1. Highlight one of the images and press cmd+i (or right click and select "Get info")
2. Click the dropdown menu and select Photoshop (you might have to click "Other..." to find it.
3. Then click "Change All" button below.
You're going to have to do this with every different TYPE of image (e.g. jpeg, tiff etc) but once you've covered all the types you won't have the problem again.
Hope this helps!

Best practice for checking out a file

Hello,
What is the SAP best practice to check out a file? (DTR -> EDit or DTR -> Edit Exclusive?)
What are pros and cons of checking out a file exclusively?
Thanks
MLS

Thanks Pascal.
Also, I think if a developer checks out exclusively, makes changes and leaves the company without checking in, the only way is to revert those files in which case all his changes will be gone.

Dreamweaver CS6 crashes when checking out a file

Not sure what all the information you might need, but here are the basics.
When I check out a file the following happens:
1. Open Dreamweaver CS6
2. Check out a file (both Double click on file or Right clicking and choosing 'Check Out')
3. 'Background File Activity' window spastically flashes for a minute then program crashes.
4. Reopen Dreamweaver CS6, file is checked out and usable.
I have tried reinstalling and deleting my WinCacheFile, no change. This happens with all servers I currently connect to. Checking In a file doesn't do this.
Does anyone have an idea on what my next steps might be to fix this?
I'm running WinXP and have the CS6 Suit.
Thanks in advance
