Documents uploaded through a user input form in an application can be made avail

simranjits over 11 years ago

Documents uploaded through a user input form in an application can be made available on the portal. When I click on the document on the portal, it opens up. I want to achieve a functionality to edit the document when it opens up and save it directly back to its parent folder without first downloading it on the user machine, editing it and then uploading it again. We donot have a content management system and donot want to use it either....

There is no OOTB functionality to do online edit. As you may appreciate, in order to do that, you need ActiveX style controls that communicate between the OLE engine and the server. Secondly, this may have restrictions on the browser and OS you execute the same.
The best approach is to save the document and edit them locally and provide an 'Upload a new version' option to upload the newer version.
