Hiding the MS Word Web App toolbar in SharePoint Online Document Library

Hi Guys!
Badly needed your input on this scenario. I've created a document library in SharePoint Online but when I add a document I wanted the MS Word Web App toolbar to be hidden as I didn't want to have the document printed  and downloaded. Just
want to have the file in read only mode.
I've come across subscription to IRM of Office 365 as a solution but it's kinda expensive for this need.
Any idea on how to resolve this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Venus

Hi!
Even if I give a view-only permission to the user, still the print button is available and the document can still be downloaded to PDF file.
Also, the permission rights given to the users of the document library is contributor. But after routing for approval and the content is approved. It should be read-only even to the one who authored the document.
I've checked also IRM for a solution but unfortunately what we have is E1 package so IRM is out of the option.
Thanks,
Venus

  • Word Web App can't open a document (corruption) but Word Desktop can

    Hi,
    My team and I are currently working on integrating a custom WOPI-Host and everything is going pretty good.  While testing out different documents that will be used in the system to see the supported features and the reaction of Word Web App we found
    a document that is problematic.
    First things first, we took a document that was in Word 97-2003 version (.doc) and converted it in Word Documents (.docx).  We had to actually use the Word Desktop Convert functionality because using "Save As" wouldn't work.  We found
    out that the document had Custom XML Data which was the reason that the "Save As" didn't work.  So we did 2 version of the document in docx version.  One that kept the Custom XML Data and one that didn't have it.
    Now when we try to open the documents in the Word Web App, both trigger the same error: "Sorry, Word Web App can't edit this document because it appears to be corrupt.".  What I don't really understand is that I can open them in the Desktop
    version of Word without any problems.  Also, if it was simply the Custom XML Data that would prevent Word Web App to open the document, how come the version of the document without these Custom XML Data is still considered corrupted by the Word Web App.
    If needed, I can send the documents in question (probably by email since I don't see an option to attach them to this question).
    Thanks,
    Patrick Racicot

    Hi,
    I understand you can't open the Word documents from Word Web App, but may I know how you converted them? What is that "Word Desktop Convert functionality"? Would you please detail the steps of the conversation?
    When you try the "Save As" method, any prompt or error? Can you keep saving just ignoring the error?
    Before the conversation, I suggest you try removing the hyperlinks in the original .doc document, then convert the document to .docx format, check if then it can be opened from the Word Web App.
    Feel free to post back to provide more information.
    Thanks,

  • Error word web app can not open this document for viewing in office web apps 2010

    adil

    Hi Adil,
    From the error message, I recommend to check the things below:
    Check if Word Viewing service is started in Central Administration. If it is started, stop and re-start it.
    Check if the Word Viewing service proxy is created.
    Check if the Word Viewing service proxy is associated with web application with issue.
    If above cannot work, please check the ULS log for further research.

  • Why isn't my SharePoint online document library showing anything in the Title column for PDFs I upload?

    I've got a document library on my SharePoint Online site. I've enabled the Title column in the library view. When I upload Word documents, the title I entered into the document properties list (Word 2010, File > Info > Properties list > Title) appears
    in the Title column of my library in SharePoint. But when I upload the published PDF version (created from the same Word file using Word 2010 by File > Save As) to the library, there's nothing in the Title column. Why? Is SharePoint failing to read the
    metadata of the PDF file? Is Word 2010 failing to copy the metadata into the PDF file when it's created from the Word file?
    What's going wrong and how do I fix it?
    When answering, please keep in mind that I'm a SharePoint novice.
    Regards,
    Bruce Officer

    I think I've ruled out the possibility that Word isn't saving the Title property with the PDF when I convert to PDF using Word 2010's built-in Save As PDF command. I found a utility called Evermap AutoMetadata which shows all the metadata saved in a PDF
    file and the Title field is indeed present in the PDF, with the correct value. Windows File Explorer won't show that property as present, but AutoMetadata does. It now looks like SharePoint isn't reading that field for some reason. Does anyone know why, and
    what I should do about it?

  • Word Web App (2013) can't open this document ... Because the service is busy

    I have just set up Office Web Apps Server in a SharePoint 2013 test environment as per document here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx
    Although I had some issues with Excel Web App at first, I've solved this and excel seems to work ok, However, the Word Web App just sits there spinning and ultimately give the error dialog:
    "Sorry, Word Web App can't open this document because the service is busy. Please try again later"   The Same link as above has a simple solution :
     Did you install Office Web Apps Server on a domain controller? Office Web Apps Server cannot run on a domain controller. Office Web Apps Server must be installed on a separate server that is part of a domain. For more information, see
    Software, hardware, and configuration requirements for Office Web Apps Server.
    I certainly did not install on a DC - its a standalone server.
    ULS Logs are growing by 2K per second even when I am not doing anything on the server.
    VERY FRUSTRATED!

    So after further research we have found the following:
    Un-bind and unindstall Web Application Server
    Clean Server
    Reinstall (by Mistake to the C: Drive)
    Bind and Provision
    WOW it works!
    Un-bind, deprovision, Uninstall, Web Application Server
    clean Server
    Re-install to the D: Drive
    Provision and Bind
    wow - it DOES NOT work
    Again - repeat the first scenario
    and once again IT WORKS
    SO Why doesn't it work on the D Drive - We've checked IIS Setting and Permission - there don't seem to be any differences.
    SO - Why isn't this working when changing the default installation location, is it just me?   Has anyone gotten this working installing to another drive?
    Thanks

  • Insert SharePoint document version in Word documents - Viewing in Word Web App

    Hello all,
    I'm using Labels with the label format {Version} to display the SharePoint document version in MS Office documents stored on my company´s SharePoint site. This works fine if I open the document from the Word client application but if I open it from Word Web
    App it displays the previous version number (a minor one). After half an hour or so, when I open the document in Word Web App, the version number is the correct one. I tought it was related with the IE cache so I cleaned it but the results were the same.
    Is there any way around this?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    By design. Versioning is a property of a SharePoint item. When displaying an item from SharePoint, Office Web Apps only checks if there has been any change to the file content. It does not check for changes in metadata (if the Properties of the file have
    been modified). It then displays the cached image of the last modified version of the file instead of running a new file conversion. This is why the last minor version is displayed in the Content Control instead of the major version. This behaviour is completely
    intended and designed to work this way. This is, in fact, a performance optimization. If we would not have this performance optimization in place, then this would mean that Office Web Apps would need to download the file again every time there is a metadata
    change (which would, of course, mean overloading the SharePoint server).
    I found a similar thread as below, please refer to it for workaround:

  • Using Office Web Apps Server with SharePoint Foundation 2013

    I want to know whether I can configure Office Web Apps server to edit Excel documents on a SharePoint Foundation 2013 site.
    I came across a TechNet article that states that "When used together with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App".
    However, later in the same article, it states "If your organization licenses Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program, you can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises" (without mentioning Foundation or Server).

    Hi Lemesnil,
    The Office Web App server should support the Edit licenses for SharePoin Foundation 2013, Office Web App is free to
    download, you can also try installing and configuring in a test environment, see more from the below article applied to SharePoint Foundation 2013.

  • Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 Server

    Hi All,
    I have installed a separate server for Office Web Apps 2013 on Windows Server 2012 VM. I have followed TechNet's article on
    Deploying Office Web Apps Server & exactly followed steps.
    On SharePoint Server 2013 (Windows Server 2012), I followed TechNet’s article on
    Configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint. The Office Web Apps on SharePoint 2013 environment works for
    Excel document that shows “View in Browser” but
    no Preview.
    However, PowerPoint and Word documents doesn’t show “View in Browser”. I thought Internet Explorer 10 has some issue with Office Web Apps and checked on Chrome and results were same.
    On SharePoint Server 2013 environment, I have configured 3 services applications, MMS, UPS and Excel Service. 
    1.) Do I need any other service applications to be enabled for OWA 2013?      
    I read number of blogs,
    Installing Office Web Apps Server for SharePoint 2013 (Steve Mann),
    Install Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 (Max Melcher) and Spence Harbar
    (Enabling Office Web Apps Preview editing with SharePoint 2013). and all these blogs give more or less same steps that I have followed.  
    Strange thing is that Excel documents on my SharePoint 2013 sites are working but neither word or PowerPoint documents are not showing option for “View in Browser”. 
    I am using HTTP and not HTTPS.
    2. Can someone please advice how could I solve the Office Web Apps 2010 on Word and PPT?
    3. How to can enable preview for Excel, Word and PPT documents.
    Thanks you.
    Regards,

    Hi Inderjeet and Olafur,
    Thanks for your reply.
    @Inderjeet: That site collection feature on SP2010 works on our production environment but on SP2013 site collection there is no OWA feature. Microsoft recommends to have a separate OWA2013 server and what I create
    a separate VM for OWA2013 server.
    @Olafur: Your suggestion looks spot on. The OWA server does show the discovery:
    Our SP2013 development server has limited RAM (4GB) and it think is causing the issue.
    Let me check if increasing RAM solves the issue.
    Thanks again for your suggestions. (Interjeet and Olafur).

  • Office web apps Server for Sharepoint 2013

    Hello,
    I used the following article to install office web apps server and hook it up to a test sharepoint server:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455(v=office.15).aspx. The OWAS service was verified as working by loading:
    https://owas.companyname.com/hosting/discovery
    For the sharepoint configuration phase, the following commands were run on the sharepoint machine:
    1) New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName "owas.companyname.com"   -- (owas.companyname.com) is the host name of the owas server)
    2) Get-SPWOPIZone
    3) Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-https"
    However, office documents are still launching in the desktop office applications, not in the browser. Any ideas of what else I may need to do?
    thanks,
    Sherazad

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you fail to configure Office Web Apps for your SharePoint 2013.
    How about run Get-SPWOPIZone? If you can get a result, it says that your  SharePoint  have connected with Office Web Apps.
    Then you can run below command to  change the zone to internal-https.
    Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "internal-https"
