Just to be certain… Your question subject asks about “viewing” a .PDF, but the text of the question asks about “in the file”.

Are you wanting to stop people from looking at the .PDF or from updating a .PDF? Maybe you’re trying to get a kind of work-flow problem solved.

(Grasping at straws, but maybe…?)

Actually – I don’t think you can limit number of simultaneous viewers.
