The process of adding it to the DOCICON.XML file is what will make it show the "Edit in" option on the drop down menu.

I think I may be missing something, my SharePoint site does not have Edit Document as a context link for PDF files and does not give me the option to use the local drafts folder on check-out. Is there some configuration that may be missing that would allow my site to handle PDFs in the way yours does? Your post is exactly the problem I am trying to deal with.

If a page is removed from the PDF (as opposed to just adding a stamp or something) then the file has its metadata and versions removed when it is resaved. This is irrespective of if it is checked out or not any ideas? Kelly Hi Paul,

There must be a special circumstance that is causing it not to work. Remember, the file gets stored locally on the computer when checking it out to the drafts folder. Is the file still in that folder when you go to check it back in? Paul Kelly,

PDF files that have been checked out and worked on now create a new document when saved and checked back in. Do you have any more information about how the new file is created and when?

Luckily your solution works for those too! Problem exists also for other (non-OCR) edit actions of a PDF document. Luckily your solution works for those too!

You might have to contact Autodesk and ask them about that but I doubt they have an option. You will probably have to solve it the same way we did for PDF files. Do the local drafts checkout, make your changes, and then check it back in again. Thanks, Paul Liebrand Chandra,
