@AllainU This feature is horrid (just saying that to get it out in the open) This assumes that the user wants to check out documents, and if the user does so, and is not familiar with it, it means an administration nightmare finding documents users have inadvertently "checked out" without needing to.
This option needs to be 100% configurable from *inside* the preferences options of Nitro(!!) and yet it doesn't seem to be there!
Alternative PDF software (Fox.t) has this option in their Preferences under "ECM Integration" where it shows the word "Sharepoint" and then offers the 3 choices .. Open Only .. Check out and Open .. or Allow you to choose when opening the document.
Granted their default is the "Allow you to choose" .. but at least the user can go there, and immediately change that to OPEN ONLY if they want.
The ONLY place this "forced" request for "check out and open" option belongs, is on the SERVER side of sharepoint, where even microsoft sets this option to "No" (disabled) by default so that users are *not* required to check out documents.
What in gods name would possess Nitro devs and programers to think forcing this option on with no easy off button is acceptable? when even microsoft has the default as "off" why would your devs cause such a nightmare like this?
*define easy off ?? well when compared to F*xit .. which has words directly recognizable by many users "Sharepoint" "open only" "checkout" "prompt every time" *that* is easy .. not so with Ntiro cause if its there.. then I'm blind.
