I am generating a PDF document and displaying it in a Web browser (current version of IE is most important target). I want to suppress the floating toolbar (see below) that appears and disappears depending on mouse movement.
Is there a way to suppress this? I can control the PDF document (it’s built using itextpdf), as well as the Url.
What you’re looking for isn’t possible.

Since version X of Adobe Reader, there is a new mode called “Read Mode”,
which is the default viewing mode when you open a PDF in a web browser.
In “Read Mode” you can find a semi-transparent floating toolbar containing
basic reading controls, such as page navigation, print and zoom.
Unchecking “Display in Read Mode by Default” can be done from Edit > Preferences > Internet
in Adobe Reader X but it there is no way to disable “read mode” programmatically.
