Opening Document's using Document ID (DocIdRedir.aspx) results in Read-Only mode

Hi,
The document doesn't have Edit option when it opens through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId.
Tried below below registry update solution and it doesn't provide the checkin/checkout options.
do we have any other option/solution to enable the edit button with checkin/checkout?
Request you please provide the solution.
Registry update Solution:
         Add the following entry into the users registry.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet]  "OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing"=dword:00000001
           For a large number of users this would need to be done via Group Policy of course.
Thanks,
Neerender

Hi  Neerender ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open document in edit mode with checkin/checkout through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId.
For my test, if I configure my SharePoint 2010 to open office documents using the client application, when I open document through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId, the document  will be downloaded , then opened
by the client application. So I can open it in edit mode.
If I configure my SharePoint 2010 to open office documents in the browser, when I open document through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId, the document will be opened in the office web apps and I can edit it by clicking
Edit in Brower.

Eric

  • Document open in read only mode

    All users who are opening documents (excel, word ).  When the read-only or edit prompt comes up they click edit.  When the document opens up it opens as read-only and they are unable to save thier changes.
    The server is sharepoint 2010. The client is Office 2010.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I found the problem.
    I had this lines in the web.config that cause the problem:
    <verbs allowUnlisted="true">
              <add verb="OPTIONS" allowed="false" />
              <add verb="PROPFIND" allowed="false" />
     </verbs>
    I added them because I had problem with anonymous users with office 2013 - when they try to open document that is open for anonymous they get login screen and when they do esc the doc open.
    What can I do do fix that?
    Thanks!

  • I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

    I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
    However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

    This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

  • How to modify edit/read mode pop up for documents in "SP2013" to open in only read only mode

    Hi,
    When opening a document the users of my site and including me are getting a pop up asking to open it in read only or edit mode. We want to disable the edit option for end users. Those are confidential doc's. 
    We want them to open only in read only mode. How can it be achieved.
    Can we FORCE a read-only open of the document without giving anyone the option to open in edit mode? I don't have access to Central Admin. Hence kindly let me know if there is some javascript
    code that i can use to do this from browser.
    thank you !

    Hi Prajk,
    If users have edit permission on the documents in this library, even if we disable this dialog (by disabling the add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuements class" from IE browser), the users sitll could download the documents to local machine, and
    edit the documents in client Office application, then sync to library.
    If you want the users to read these confidential documents only, you can only grant the users read-only permission on the document items or on library level, then they could unable to edit these confidential docs, note to give proper users
    proper permissions.
    If you also want that the confidential docs could be opend and read-only in client Office application, you can configure the IRM (implemented by RMS) for SharePoint server, then set the document items in the library read-only for
    some users.

  • Open a document in read only mode

    HI All,
    I created a panel in which we have
    edit box which shows the document path
    Browse button to allow a user to select an indesign document
    "Open read only" button.
    My requirement is that after selecting an Indesign document if user click to "OPen read only" button then it will opened selected document in read only mode.
    I will be highly thankfull to all community memeber if anyone can give me some hint to achieve this.
    Regards,
    Alam

    Alam,
    If you change the attributes of the file before opening it to read only the file will be opened as read only by Indesign. And then you could place a responder that could clear this read only flag when the file is being closed so that the permissions are restored to the original state.

  • GPO settings - documents in sharepoint 2007 sometimes open in read-only mode - needs IE reset to fix

    Hi,
    We've got an intranet running on SharePoint 2007.
    We also enforce alot of group policies to our users.
    But there is a problem that keeps reoccuring:
    On random moments, when a user tries to edit a document on any random document library in SP 2007, it gets opened in read-only mode.
    The only temporary fix we found for this is resetting the IE settings in Internet Options -> 'tab' advanced -> Reset IE settings... and pressing Reset.
    We think it is some GPO setting that we have malconfigured or forgot to configure and we hope that someone could point us  in a direction to troubleshoot or even solve this.
    Thanks in advance for reading and providing help.

    Hello,
    I also suspect that there might be issue with IE plug-in so could you confirm that? you can also tell su what plug-in you see in IE.

  • Document will only open in read-only mode

    I created a .pdf document from a Word document in Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.1. When I open the .pdf it will only open in read-only mode.  I want to change the security settings to prevent editing before I send it out but the File>Properties>Security>>Security Method is greyed out and set to "No Security."  I have tried certifying and signing the document and even placing in a secure envelope with no luck.
    Help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you Dave. 
    From MS Word, I am choosing Save as Adobe PDF.  In the Save window I reviewed the "Options..." and found PDF Options including
    Convert document information  (checked)
    Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file  (not checked)
    Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF (checked)
    Apply Security (not checked)
    Create Bookmarks (checked)
    Convert Comments (not checked)
    I checkmarked Apply Security and attempted to save the document, however, received the following error:
    PDFMaker cannot apply security when PDF/X or PDF/A compliant job option is selected.
    I do not have the Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file box checked so I'm not sure why I'm getting that error.

  • When using Quite Imposing Plus the resulting file is only given a Temp name which will be sent as the document name.

    Our company has recently upgraded form Acrobat Professional 8 to Acrobat professional XI. We also use the Quite Imposing Plus plug-in in both versions. Now when using Quite Imposing Plus the resulting file is only given a Temp name which will be sent as the document name to the printer unless the imposed document is first saved. This was not the case in Acrobat Professional 8. I have attached a screen shots that shows an example.
    Is there any reason why this is happening and how can we stop it.

    Thank you for your advice although I think you may be incorrect as the naming of the documents made with Quite Imposing is correct in Acrobat 8.
    After reading the comment below it would seem something has changed from version nine onwards.
    Going forward we plan on changing the way we save and send our imposed documents to print but thank you for your time.

                    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

    I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
    The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
    Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

  • Not able to open XMind files from IE in read only mode

    I have configured my SharePoint Farm to support .xmind file types
    Below are the steps I have done
    1.  
    Added an entry in DOCICON.XML
        <Mapping Key="xmind" Value="xmind_file1.png" EditText="XMind Mapping Software"  OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
    2. Added an entry in htmltransinfo.xml
        <Mapping Extension="xmind" AcceptHeader="application/vnd.xmind.workbook" HandlerUrl="" ProgId=""/>
    3. Added a MiME type 'application/vnd.xmind.workbook' in the Inetmgr.
    Now, xmind files are getting detected, but I am not able to open xmind files in read only mode from IE.
    Xmind files are working perfectly from Mozilla, but my client wants the xmind to be working perfectly from IE.
    Need a help on this issue....

    Hi Aries,
       Please find the screenshot below , while I am trying to open the xmind file in read only mode. It is redirecting the user to a blank page...
    Also please find the extract from the fiddler when trying to open it after selecting the read only mode

  • How Real Time Apply works while physical standby is open in Read Only mode

    Hi,
    With Active data guard option, we can open physical standby DB in read only mode, while redo log are being applied. (Real Time Query)
    Standby Redo log (SRL) enables Real Time Apply (with "USING CURRENT LOGFILE" clause in recover database command on standby DB)
    I am interested to know, how Real Time Query works ?
    What is the mechanism with allows us to open physical standby DB in read only mode while redo logs are being applied continuously ?
    Regards,
    Sujit

    Dear user7419391,
    That is a new feature in Oracle Database 11g. MRP can use the real time apply in 10g but the concept here is different.
    Taken from the following document;
    http://www.ascent.co.za/documents/oracle/Oracle%20databse%2011g%20Active-Data-Guard%20datasheet.pdf
    *Unique Advantages of Oracle Active Data Guard*
    +Active Data Guard is an evolution of Data Guard technology, providing unique+
    +performance advantages while leveraging all other enhancements included in Oracle+
    +Data Guard 11g. For example, any Data Guard 11g physical standby database can+
    +be easily converted to a Snapshot Standby. A Snapshot Standby is open read-write+
    +and is ideally suited as a test system, able to process transactions independent of the+
    +primary database. A Snapshot Standby maintains protection by continuing to receive+
    +data from the production database, archiving it for later use. When tests are+
    +complete, a single command discards changes made while open read-write and+
    +quickly resynchronizes the standby database with the primary.+
    The other link in the previous post is excellent and you really have to read it to understand the active data guard aspects.
    Regards.

  • SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

    Hi all,
    Environment:
    SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017)  RTM
    Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
    Issue details:
    When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As.  The
    same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu. 
    Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
    To date we’ve tested the following
    Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
    Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
    Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
    Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
    Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
    We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
    The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
    Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
    Any help with this appreciated.

    Hi Dan,
    For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode. 
    The same issue was present for Visio files.
    Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
    Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case.  If checkout is not required the document
    menu can also be used as expected.
    Cheers,
    Dan

  • Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

    I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed.  When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
    "Windows cannot find '<path to file>'.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
    Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls".  The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
    Now here is the strange part.  If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
    I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494.  It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case.  Any other ideas?  This is
    really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

    This may be a file association problem.  To solve that:
    In Windows 7:
    1. Right-click the file,
    2. Select "Open With" 
    select [Your Program Here]
    3. Check always use this program. 
    In Windows XP:
    1. Locate the file as you have described above
    2. Right click the file
    3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
    4. Click Choose default program…
    5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
    6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
    7. Click on OK.
    1.  Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
    2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
    3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
    4. Exit Registry Editor
    5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
    6.  Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.

  • Adobe reader wont let me highlight, and opens pdf in read only mode, why?

    I need help with highlighting pdf, and tke it out of read only mode . When i go to the text edit thing it say "To modefy this document save a copy on device" Its already on my device, so why does it say that? I was able to highlight this pdf before. Was there a recent update that diabled highlighting ?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?  Are these PDFs writable or read-only on your device?

Maybe you are looking for
