How to restrict document download in SharePoint 2010

Is it possible to restrict file downlaods from SharePoint document library.
Manish

Hi Manish,
Information Rights Management is the only way to protect the documents and don't allow user save document in his/her system. You need to setup IRM on your network and the enable it in Central Administration.
Check this MSDN article for more information:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/apply-information-rights-management-to-a-list-or-library-HA101790603.aspx
Hope it could help

  • Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

    Hi,
    I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
    and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
    After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
    However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
    1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
    The last three document templates are PDFs.
    The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
    Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

    According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
    See if this works.
    Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
    In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
    Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
    Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
    Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
    Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
    Save and close the file

  • How to Copy list item attachment to document library in SharePoint 2010

    Hi,
    How to Create a folder ("List Item - Title Name") in Document library and copy list items Attachments to the same folder in SharePoint 2010,thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Selvan.J

    Hi,
    You should first check whether the folder exists in the library, if the folder not exists, then create it.
    I had modified the code, you can use the following code snippet to achieve it.
    private void EventCopyFileWhenItemCreatedOrUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
    SPSite site = new SPSite(http://YourSiteName);
    SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
    SPList doclibList=properties.Web.Lists["YourLibName"];
    bool foundFolder = false;
    if (doclibList.Folders.Count>0)
    foreach (SPListItem fitem in doclibList.Folders)
    if (fitem.Title.Equals("FolderA"))
    foundFolder = true;
    break;
    if (foundFolder == false)
    SPListItem folder = doclibList.Folders.Add(doclibList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder,"FolderA");
    folder.Update();
    string fUrl = doclibList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl+"/FolderA";
    SPFolder myLibrary = web.GetFolder(fUrl);
    if (properties.ListTitle == "YourListName")
    SPListItem sourceItem = properties.ListItem;
    properties.Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
    //get the folder with the attachments for the source item
    SPFolder sourceItemAttachmentsFolder =
    sourceItem.Web.Folders["Lists"].SubFolders[sourceItem.ParentList.Title].SubFolders["Attachments"].SubFolders[sourceItem.ID.ToString()];
    //Loop over the attachments, and add them to the target item
    foreach (SPFile file in sourceItemAttachmentsFolder.Files)
    if (CheckFileNameExist(file.Name , properties) == false)
    byte[] binFile = file.OpenBinary();
    myLibrary.Files.Add(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.Url) , binFile);
    private bool CheckFileNameExist(string fileNameInFileAttach, SPItemEventProperties properties)
    bool flag = false;
    SPList myDocumentLib = properties.Web.Lists["YourLibName"];
    SPQuery spQuery = new SPQuery();
    SPListItemCollection items = myDocumentLib.GetItems(spQuery);
    foreach (SPListItem item in items)
    if (fileNameInFileAttach == item["Name"].ToString())
    flag = true;
    break;
    return flag;

  • Custom Property in Microsoft Word 2010 Document Template and Sharepoint 2010 Content Type not Syncing up

    I wrote a macro in a Word 2010 template with a custom property called HeaderFooter (a Yes/No value). When the property is changed to No, the header and footer are hidden, otherwise, the header and footer are displayed.
    I added the template to a SharePoint 2010 Document library, with a content type DocInformation and a column name HeaderFooterOffOn that I want to map to the custom property HeaderFooter in the Word Document.
    The macro isn't working in SharePoint, though, because when the user clicks on the HeaderFooterOffOn in the DIP of the Word Document, the Word Custom Property (HeaderFooter) isn't changing with it.
    How do I get these two synced up, so that when the SharePoint column is changed, the Word Document's custom property simultaneously updates with it?

    Hi kevinkevinc,
    There is no direct way to run macro in SharePoint
    As a workaround, I suggest you use SharePoint Event Receiver to run some custom code when column changed.
    Here is a similiar thread for your reference:

    I would like to check for the existence of a folder in s Sharepoint 2010 Document Library and if the folder is not found, create it. (I would then subsequently programmatically upload documents to that folder -- which I have figured out). Can someone
    please help me figure out how to check for the extistence of and then create a folder using the Sharepoint 2010 Client Object Model?

    You can use this:

    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://basesmc2008");
    Web web = clientContext.Web;
    List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listName);
    clientContext.Load(clientContext.Site);
    string targetFolderUrl = listName + "/" + folderName;
    Folder folder = web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl(targetFolderUrl);
    clientContext.Load(folder);
    bool exists = false;
    try

  • How to block specific DL in SharePoint 2010 application.

    Hi All,
    We have SharePoint 2010 farm. I have a requirement to block specific Distribution List which should not recognized when user trying to give access at (user.aspx page)site level.
    How can i  restrict this in SharePoint 2010 farm.
    Regards

    You can use content editor webpart to run javascript. Java script will redirect users from accessing the site. You need t o specify the user Id; it wont work on DL
    Blow is the java script:
    ==================Script Start ===============
    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebUserData, "sp.js");
    var context = null;
    var web = null;
    var currentUser = null;
        function getWebUserData() {
            context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            web = context.get_web();
            currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
           currentUser.retrieve();
            context.load(web);
            context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccessMethod), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailureMethod));

  • Unable to create a new folder in document library of SharePoint 2010

    Hi There,
    Need some help regarding an issue which is occurring after migration from SP 2007 to 2010.
    We have recently migrated a site to SP 2010, after migration whenever i tried to create a new folder in a document library it gives me an error message below
    SPException: Can not find the form to create default data for the list

    vikram padigala

    Hi,
    All the document libraries which are created with the custom list template has this problem. 
    Did you mean you had a custom library template?
    Did the issue occur in the library which created use the out of the box template, such as use the Document Library template?
    You can check with the OOB template library to test whether they had the same issue.
    If the OOB template library works well, the issue may be related to the custom library template.
    You can try to recreate a new custom template to check whether it works.
    To quickly and accurately find the issue , you can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS

  • Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint 2010 Library

    Hello guys,
    I'm facing some design issue with sharepoint 2010 and Microsoft office, hope you can help me to fix this.
    Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint Library when I'm already authenticated via the browser?
    Please help me to skip this authentication when i try to open office documents from sharepoint library.
    Thanks
    Jeyaraman S

    Hi Jeyaraman, in addition to Alex's solution, check the following browser settings:
    Make sure “Enable protected mode” in security tab & “Require server verification” in “sites” area are unchecked. In “Custom level,” choose “Automatic logon” way at the bottom.

  • Is PowerPivot client required to connect Excel to a PowerPivot document stored in SharePoint 2010

    We are running SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.  If we publish a PowerPivot document to SharePoint (in essence creating an SSAS cube on the server), does a client user with Excel need to have the PowerPivot add-in

    Hi,
    Please refer to the following sections which describe the ways you can co-author by using Office 2010 and Office Web Apps, and best practices when using libraries to maintain the files.

  • How to Archive a list in sharepoint 2010

    Hi
    I think large list is the inevitable trend and will be a very common issue faced by everyone. We are a medium business using sharepoint 2010.
    For past 3 years, one of our SharePoint lists is over 20000 items.
    From my end:
    1.     I have indexed some important columns and created filtered views but it does not help much.
    2. I have increased the list threshold value to 25000( Even though the best practice is 5000).
    3. Also,  I have set the list template size to 500MB 
    4.     When I try to save the list as a template,  SharePoint throws an exception error.  
    5.   I tried working on the code
    mentioned in the link
    below but it looks complicated for me.
    http://spboom.com/sharepoint-development/moving-sharepoint-list-items-to-archive-list/
    What I need:
    I need to archive old items in the list.  After archiving,  I might need to refer to the archived items from time to time.
    As I'm newbie to SharePoint, it would be great, if someone can elaborate in detail with what can be done.
    Again your help in this is much appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    SweR

    What vesion of SharePoint are you using?  If you want to move items across from one list to another (as per your prefered option), something like: -
    Create a list template of you list with no content
    Recreate it on the same level as the main lis
    Create an SPD workflowthat'll copy an item to the new list and delete the original.  Make sure it doesn't have a triggering action
    Use an Expiration Information Rights Policy to triger the workflow. 
    Please note that this won't preserve the original author / create metadata as Alex has already said.

    You can use list.Fields.Add() to add column in list. See below blog:
