How to stop sharing .pdf documents shared with outside domains in OneDrive
Hi All, I have come across below experience and appreciate anyone can suggest to overcome the issue. I have created DLP policy to prevent sharing documents in OneDrive classified as Internal....
- In EXO the DLP is built-in and that's why it's working there. How are you using this "internal" label with PDF? Are you converting the documents with a label already attached? (a new feature that has been rolled out) https://insider.office.com/hr-hr/blog/apply-sensitivity-labels-to-pdfs-created-with-office-apps or are you on the AIP unified labeling client not using built-in labeling or using the new feature in Adobe to attach sensitivity labels? https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/10/11/introducing-microsoft-purview-information-protection-mpip-in-acrobat
Depending on your use case you could simply use a DLP preventing external sharing with file type .PDF in the policy. I.e. all PDF files will be prevented but reckon you probably don't want to do that.
Thanks for the replying.
I am converting the office document to the .pdf that already classified as internal.
Yes, simply I could create a policy to prevent sharing all .pdf files but this something we don't want to do in Production.

OK. Then it's clearer. As it's Office insider and you're converting the files I would provide feedback using the above link. Could be something that's missing in the new feature.
