Check Out & Open message while opening PDF


To avoid getting this annoying message while you click on a PDF file in SharePoint, please try the below step.


Please disable "Adobe Acrobat Sharepoint OpenDocuments Component" Add-on in the Internet Explorer.

  1. once this change is made to get rid of the "check out and edit" dialog box, is it possible to add comments to the PDF and save back to the document library? This is the behaviour I would like. Just edit the document and save a new version back to the document library with no check out, check in and prompt for version comments. Is this possible?
