PDF in RevBrowser Without The Adobe Toolbar?

Before I throw in the towel on this, might someone know if it's possible to
remove the default toolbar that Adobe draws in a browser when displaying a
PDF?

While browsers like Safari and Chrome have their own PDF display routines,
RevBrowser (on OS X) seems to ignore Safari's behavior and displays Adobe's
default PDF toolbar.  I need to get rid of it, and supposedly doing this
this is possible using parameters that Adobe itself created, but the
parameters don't seem to work in RevBrowser:
<http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_para
meters.pdf>

I've tried appending the parameters to the file:// URL as described, I've
tried urlEncoding the param string, I've tried using revBrowserExecuteScript
with a javascript function that sets the browser's location with the
parameters, but have had no luck at all.  I need to remove the toolbar
because I'm displaying smallish thumbnail PDFs in RevBrowser and the toolbar
takes up too much space.

Anybody done this before?  Anybody at all?  Buhler?  Buhler?

Thanks for any pointers.
