Disable download of PDF files: "read-only"
Disable download of PDF files: "read-only"
Only the data room creator and the
data room administrator can activate and deactivate the "read only"
function for a PDF file.
Proceed as follows:
- Open your data room
- Use the check box to select the PDF file
- Click on the "document" icon in the green bar
- Select the "read only" function.
The PDF file is tagged with the "View-only" attribute. If a PDF file is view-only, you can tell by the "View-only" label under the file name. To remove the View-only attribute, select the None option.
Additional option:
Any access to each page of a document is recorded as a download in the journal and is useful when applying a rule to limit the downloads. It may happen that multiple scrolling through a document leads to an alarm message in the journal. However, you can prevent this by removing scrolling through a "read only" document from the rule for recording a mass download. This setting cannot be undone.
- Open your data room
- Open the 3-dot menu in the green bar
- Click on the Box settings
- Open the "Data room" tab
- Select the function "Don’t record read/download activities in the journal".
Save your settings.
