Description

Most browser PDF viewers will display an option for downloading the PDF. Because of this, the separate PDF download button is redundant. Also the option to uncheck "PDF Download Allowed" is misleading, because removing the button can't disallow downloading.

Supporting information

Private-ref: https://tasks.opencraft.com/browse/BB-9935

Testing instructions

  • create and edit a pdf component
  • verify there is no field for allowing pdf download
  • save and view the pdf component
  • verify there is no 'download pdf' button or link (besides what's in the embedded pdf viewer)
  • verify that there are no errors or issues with the layout in the cms edit view, the cms view, or the lms view.

Other information

This depends on open-craft/xblock-pdf#5, as the branch from that PR is what is deployed and what we're testing with. If this goes ahead, the plan would be to create a new client branch based on that PR, and merge this PR into the new client branch.

Closing because we're not going this direction.
