how to disable download document action on alfresco 5.0D

Hello,

I don't know any configuration for this but it can be done by overriding pdfjs.get.js file.
Here are the steps you can follow if you are using alfresco 5.0
1) Copy attached pdf-extension.xml file at tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension\site-data\extensions folder under your Alfresco.
2) Copy attached pdfjs.get.js file at tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension\site-webscripts\custom\pdf folder under your Alfresco.
3) Restart Alfresco.

This should disable download button which you show in your attachment.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Add the below config entry in share-config-custom.xml file.
evaluator.doclib.action.disableAction is a OOTB evaluators which disables the action.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocLibActions">
   <actions>
      <action id="document-download" type="link" label="actions.document.download">
         <param name="href">{downloadUrl}</param>
         <evaluator>evaluator.doclib.action.disableAction</evaluator >
      </action>
   </actions>
</config>

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the commitment to help.
I did as you taught, but it worked.
In my Alfresco there is only the path tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension\ , but I created the folders identical to what you said and copied the files inside.
I should copy the files in another directory?
What do you think happened?

Have you removed the txt extension from files? That was just because forum was not allowing other files to upload.

The files name should be pdf-extension.xml and pdfjs.get.js No underscores.

Yes, I removed the TXT and let the original file.
What about the paths that I had to create , am I right?

Yes you have to create folders if they dont exists.

Hello,
I read the post….my question is: is it possible to hide or disable DOWNLOAD button or action depending on user or group profile rather than all ??
And also to disable DOWNLOAD FOLDER as ZIP ??

Thank you in advance

You can use evaluator to hide or disable the download buttons.
You can allow only the site manager can download not the contributor or collaborator like that.
Something like below,

  <evaluator negate="false">evaluator.doclib.action.isSiteManager</evaluator>

Thanks Murali, sorry but I'm a little newbie….Where I have to put this code ??

I tried but it is not working, the way, I was thinking.
Let me take a closer look on this and will update.

You need to use, share-custom-config.xml and it needs to placed under web-extension folder.

 C:\Alfresco50d\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension\share-config-custom.xml‍

To remove the download Icon from the document-details header, you need to extend or overwrite the node-header.get.js and you need to set the

 AlfrescoUtil.param("showDownload", "true");‍

 AlfrescoUtil.param("showDownload", "false"); ‍

.

You need to place this file,

 C:\Alfresco50d\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\node-details\node-header.get.js‍

To disable the download options form preview, use this, https://forums.alfresco.com/comment/158771#comment-158771

Now only the admin and SiteManager can download the documents / folders.
One issue here, if the user creates any documents that can be download and I will check on this, for the restrictions.
