How do I disable edit mode on a a!documentViewerField?

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, i.e., only displaying the document without allowing it to be downloaded or printed? Or is there a way to configure this from Appian?

You can try this plugin https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/apryse-webviewer-component-plug_2d00_in#
Use the webviewer() function and use the disabledElements property to disable download and print.

Note that this plug-in is paid (but previewable for free), but in the past when I've tried it I've found its feature-set to be pretty impressive. It's also the only solution I've seen so far for previewing MS Office files on-form.
