<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40296831/is-it-possible-to-force-a-copy-of-a-protected-google-doc> | |
NOTE - 2021-05-24 | |
----------------- | |
The script below isn't the fastest way to copy-and-paste from a protected | |
Google Doc. Before trying it, I'd suggest following MikoFrosty's advice from | |
the comments: | |
1) Change the end of the document url from `/edit` to `/mobilebasic`. | |
2) Disable Javascript (as described in steps 2 and 3 below). | |
3) Keeping the console open, reload the page. | |
That should be enough to allow you to copy freely. The script here is | |
*probably* only necessary if the /mobilebasic view isn't rendering something | |
correctly. | |
HOW TO USE | |
---------- | |
1) Open the protected Doc using Chrome. Scroll all the way down to the bottom | |
to make sure that it is entirely loaded. | |
2) Open Chrome Developer Tools (<Ctrl+Shift+I>), and click "Console" to open | |
the Javascript Console. | |
3) Open the Command Console (<Ctrl+Shift+P>). Type "javascript", and select | |
the option "Disable Javascript" when it appears. | |
4) Copy the script below into the Javascript console. | |
5) Leaving the Javascript Console open, you may now copy-and-paste from the | |
document as normal. (Some formatting may be broken. Closing the console may | |
re-lock copy-and-pasting.) | |
6) (OPTIONAL) To copy the entire document as plain text (no formatting), type | |
the following into the console: | |
document.body.innerText | |
The text will be loaded into the Console itself; copy it by clicking the | |
gray-highlighted "COPY" at the end. | |
*/ | |
function rtcScript() { | |
document.oncontextmenu = null; | |
document.onselectstart = null; | |
document.onmousedown = null; | |
document.onclick = null; | |
document.oncopy = null; | |
document.oncut = null; | |
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('*'); | |
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) { | |
elements[i].oncontextmenu = null; | |
elements[i].onselectstart = null; | |
elements[i].onmousedown = null; | |
elements[i].oncopy = null; | |
elements[i].oncut = null; | |
} | |
function preventShareThis() { | |
document.getSelection = window.getSelection = function() { | |
return {isCollapsed: true}; | |
} | |
} | |
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script'); | |
for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) { | |
if (scripts[i].src.indexOf('w.sharethis.com') > -1) { | |
preventShareThis(); | |
} | |
} | |
if (typeof Tynt != 'undefined') { | |
Tynt = null; | |
} | |
} | |
rtcScript(); | |
setInterval(rtcScript, 2000); |

NOT WORKING FOR GOOGLE SLIDES. FYI. Disabling javascript bricks the UI, obviously. PDF printing also is caught by the deactivated javascript environment. I hacked around a little but could not find a solution. What needs to be stopped in the loaded javascript VM is the function that prevents all these thigns from happening. What is the official name for this function?
@le-dawg mitar's solution is worked for me.
i make tool crawl data it but it working for text https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMW65aVWOmg
Does not seems to work on google sheets, currently
Edit: solution - change the end of the url to /preview
Edit2: For excel users, I imagine this trick would work nicely, in combination with /preview https://twitter.com/asmith83/status/1549373680496656385

Can you share, thanks a lot.

yes
nice hack!
Hi! i tried using the script but it wasn't working. the middle pages were all missing and blank. Is there any updated script i could use?
As MikoFrosty says, for this script to catch the whole document without any blanks, you need to manually scroll down very slowly to let everything load, which is pretty slow and annoying; so, as an alternative, you can change the end of the document URL from "/edit" to "/mobilebasic".
As far as I can tell, the mobilebasic interface always loads the whole document automatically. I think it may sometimes drop some complex formatting, but that's probably not going to transfer perfectly regardless.i've done that too. scrolling until the last page. when i try to change the edit into mobilebasic i can see every page's text but can't highlight and copy any.
Another workaround that worked for me: (For Chrome) once you have to document in mobilebasic view, use F12 to open the inspector, then F1 to get to the Preferences tab, scroll to the bottom of the tab and select "Disable Javascript." Once that is done leave the inspector open and reload the page, then you should be able to highlight and copy the entire doc.
This worked like a charm! 😃
Any updates? None of the afforementioned steps work for now.
The mobilebasic method still works for me
(copied from @mitar)
- Change the end of the document url from /edit to /mobilebasic.
- Disable Javascript (as described in steps 2 and 3 below).
- Keeping the console open, reload the page. Select all + copy.
- Create a new blank Google Doc. Paste.
What part of this process is not working for you?
hi, does anyone know how to copy it not on mobile view? the doc i want to copy a table that appears differently on mobile and desktop (i cannot figure it out on my own :P)
does that still works on google spreadsheet , when i do this it gives a random number
this still works. i tried it on this → https://docs.google.com/document/d/13uWn9iUqYLbpGDyaT8r3kReGMA0WyiNrcA_QPX2DfN0/mobilebasic
Works perfectly fine. Script not needed. Just change URL and disable JS ;)
@onurogut I get a page that only shows the file name as a title and File/Edit/View/Tools/Help/... as subtitles 🤔
sure here source code to download
https://github.com/VHAE04/copy-protected-doc
demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMW65aVWOmg
@senhalil I tried with example that @deadcoder0904 shared and I'm attached a screenshot:
command+shift+r to switch reading mode:
As you can see, I can select all text/images by just simply command+a, copy and paste it into notes:
I would update the instructions to:
- Change the end of the document url from
/edit
to/mobilebasic
.- Disable Javascript (as described in steps 2 and 3 below).
- Keeping the console open, reload the page. Select all + copy.
- Create a new blank Google Doc. Paste.
That retained all formatting for me perfectly.
It works!!
IT WORKED
- Change the end of the document url from
/edit
to/mobilebasic
.
when I add "mobilebasic" end of url for google sheet it says
"Sorry, unable to open the file at present.Please check the address and try again."
- Change the end of the document url from

same
it works!
I found a workaround in /mobilebasic
without having to disable JavaScript. You just have to rename the docsshared-no-select
class to anything else and the script that prevents you from copying stops working.

Yea that works for me, so whats the point of this script if you could just do that?
once changing /edit to /mobilebasic it is shown as not found
Does anyone have a working method for this at the moment?
In Brave, changing the url from /edit to /mobilebasic, then disabling javascript seems to of been patched for trying to copy text from a protected Google Doc.
@mitar worked like a charm. btw you can just copy you don't need any other google doc
