Question

Opening PDF in Acrobat from Sharepoint

We just transitioned to Sharepoint for our cloud based storage.  Now, when we go to open up a PDF, in order to edit it we have to "Open in Desktop."  When we do this, we continue to get numerous pop-up alerts: asking us to install the app if we don't already have it (we all do), then we have a "new sharepoint account found" and it tells us what Sharepoint we are opening it from and what we have to do if we want to open it from another Sharepoint account (we don't).  Then it will ask us to choose Check Out and Open or just Open...when I follow the instructions on how to remove that prompt (by requiring Checkout in the Sharepoint Library), it does not remove the prompt.  Is there a more efficient way to open a PDF in Adobe Acrobat from Sharepoint?

    Hi @KM210315 

     

    Hope you are doing well.

    Sharepoint integration with Chrome extension, you can use the Acrobat Chrome extension to open a SharePoint document directly in Acrobat. The extension identifies the source location and initiates the file check-out process in Acrobat.

     

    These are the only steps to open/view your SharePoint file in Acrobat for an online account.

    To simplify the process, you can add your SharePoint account to the Adobe Acrobat desktop app and view your files directly. 

     

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Akanchha
