Add an option to open a document as ReadOnly as this were a viewer.

It's strange to see that this component (PdfViewerControl) doesn't have a pure VIEWER functionality...

I just want to VIEW a pdf file and navigate it. I don't need to anotate it, sign it, move or rotate it's pages, fill forms, and nothing similar. I don't want also to load or save other pdf on the same window.

I've had a hard time just guessing how to disable all this functionality.


Finally I've got close to what I need creating a custom ToolBar (not very well documented...) and disabling AnnotationTools and FileTools, but now I can't show the print preview screen.

I've also set pdfViewer.FormSettings.IsIconVisible, pdfViewer.PageOrganizerSettings.IsIconVisible and pdfViewer.EnableRedactionTool to false.


This API is really messy, just to have one goal, set the viewer as a VIEWER.


Please, provide a simple option to get all this done or at least improve the documentation arount this, it's been really fustrating.


NOTE: It's also very fustrating not being able to write code on the bug reports and feature request. I don't know wich f...g character is preventing me to post this issue. Please, take note.
