How to disable edit mode on a PDF?

Hi,

We have an a!documentViewerField component to display a PDF document, but the problem is that it shows editing options to download and print it, and we have been asked to disable these options.

Is there another component that allows PDF documents to be viewed in read-only mode, only displaying the document without allowing it to be downloaded or printed? Or is there a way to configure this from Appian?

Thanks

These are the actions that can be performed on the PDF file.

This is component we use

Appian uses the PDF function built into the browser. And, as of now, there is no way to configure this. You can do one thing if this is single paged document then covert the PDF into Image and display the document in Image display fields.
