PHPRunner General questions

Hello!
I am trying to implement uploading PDF file and viewing it in my project. Due to the sensitivity I would like to restrict on "open file/download/print" of the uploaded files in PDF viewer to users other than admin user.
I gave view/list only privilege to users in Admin Area, but users still able to see the "open file/download/print" icon in the PDF viewer.
Unable to find any helpful hint/example in the help manual. Do I need to add any code in the initialize script ("Veiw as") of the table field
I am using PHPRunner Enterprise 10.4 (Build 35536)
Appreciate any help or idea.

We do not have this kind of functionality and it doesn't make much sense to be honest.
If users see the file in PDF Viewer they already "opened" it. Even if you hide those icons they can still print the screen or copy and paste the text from PDF to another document.

Hi Sergey,
Thank you for your reply. I understand those points. The client told me that these users are non employee and they will view the document remotely from their own (non-corporate) device. The client would like to restrict the file saving on their local drive so that it does not fall into other's (e.g. family members) hand.
