Layer an empty (transparent) container over it. That will cut off all user interaction. I doubt you can cut off just scrolling or paging. Consider splitting your PDF files so you can deliver just the page or pages allowed. ---

Thanks for the reply Phil, I tried the container but I was still able to interact with components below it. I found that layering an empty transparent button cut of all user interaction
