How to disable pdf toolbar buttons

Hi All,

I have a web service which will return pdf stream for a given document id and I will set the content type to application/pdf and write the out put to IFRAME upto this point I am done and OK!
My problem is :
My client requirement is to disable the pdf toolbar buttons except the print button in IFRAME, is there any way using JavaScript to disable all the PDF toolbar buttons?

Thanks in Advance.

If the PDF plugin version supports passed in control options, you can hide all the toolbar buttons by appending #toolbar=0 to the src:

At least it works with direct links to the document. I'm assuming it will also work with a stream:

Problem is, this will hide the Print button as well. Note that the right-click menu is unaffected, so you can print and do anything else with it as well. There might be a similar control for disabling the right-click menu, or maybe you can do it with plain javascript.

Also note that there will still be a "show toolbar" button at the bottom left of the document, unless you disable the scrollbar, and the user can use it to show the toolbar again.

The only control options I'm aware of are toolbar, page, zoom, and scrollbar. You can string them together separated by ampersands: #toolbar=0&page=3&zoom=50%. I've tried searching for a comprehensive list of all available controls, but couldn't find one.

My bad, just tested it out, and for the streaming version the query parameters must go before the plugin controls:

src="getDocument?docId=456#toolbar=0" instead of src="getDocument#toolbar=0?docId=456

I listed all the plugin commands I know of. I got the idea from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/webdev/, which lists some commands for their custom plugin, and through testing found that some of them work with the standard Acrobat Reader plugin. Unfortunately "pagemode", which is what the site lists for bookmarks, isn't one of them. If you figure out how to disable bookmarks in the plugin, please let me know.
