How to Enable or Disable Document Property Promotion (ParserEnabled) in SharePoint 2013

This is the way to solve issues on uploading document into SharePoint 2013 Document Library. After upload the document into SharePoint library, the document had the metadata (document properties) of the original document. Metadata that is changed on the document will revert to the original values that were given to the document; this occurs both from SharePoint and from MS Word.

 

Solution 1 – Remove Document Properties & personal Information using Inspect

1.      Open file using Microsoft office

2.      Click file and the inspect document (check for issues)

3.      Tick only on document properties & personal information

4.      Inspect & then remove

5.      Then Save

6.      Upload document into SharePoint.

 

Solution 2 – Disable Document Property Promotion using PowerShell

The SPWeb object has a ParserEnabled property, which enables or disables this functionality.  Using the PowerShell script, we can turn off this functionality at the web level. Sample script to disable the document parser feature in SharePoint:

1.      Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as Administrator.

2.      Run the following script to disable document property promotion.

	C:\> $web=Get-SPweb "http://spfe01/sites/SITENAME/SUBSITENAME" C:\> $web         Url         ---         http://spfe01/sites/SITENAME/SUBSITENAME C:\> $web.parserenabled         True C:\> $web.parserenabled  = $false C:\> $web.Update() C:\> $web.parserenabled         false

3.      Document Property Promotion is disabled successfully and when you try to upload a document you will find that all the fields are empty
