How to disassociate SharePoint/Harmon.ie from Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

  • April 25, 2017

Firstly, an  occurrence that I've been having is that when trying to open a PDF through Harmon.ie (a third-party tool), a pop-up always occurs asking me to Check & Open, Open or Cancel. Is there a way that I can prevent this pop-up from happening at all?

My main query is that I want to completely disassociate SharePoint (and therefore Harmon.ie) from Adobe Acrobat Reader. Then, my guess is that this pop-up won't occur.

You can also register the below harmon.ie key.

It will prevent harmon.ie from leveraging Adobe PDF SharePoint integration.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mainsoft\Prefs\OpenPDFWithWebDav]
@="false"

Hi Jamils37879618,

As you have explained above, there is a possibility that after disabling the SharePoint integration this pop-up window will disappear.

You may try the following steps to disable SharePoint integration.

Pre-Deployment Planning — Enterprise Administration Guide

Here are the steps pulled from the article above:-

Adds support for disabling SharePoint integration via the bDisableSharePointFeatures

preference. A value of one turns off all SharePoint related functionality such as the check out prompt

and SharePoint menu items. Ideally, you’d set this up in the Customization Wizard prior to deployment.

To disable SharePoint integration:

1. Open the registry.

2. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\\\FeatureLockDown.

3. Create a key called cSharePoint.

4. Create a DWORD value called bDisableSharePointFeatures.

5. Set its value to 1.

Hope this works for you.

Regards,

Akanchha
