Install the Microsoft Purview Information Protection client (PurviewInfoProtectionViewer) to view protected non-Office files on Windows.


This viewer from Microsoft Purview Information Protection lets you open and view protected files that were shared with you:

  • Open and use protected files such as PDF, text files, images and any other file format that has a .pfile extension.
  • View your permissions, and print or save the file without protection – if permission allows.

    • Note:

    to open and use Microsoft Office documents and emails that are protected, you don’t need this viewer. Just open them using your Office application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook).
