Display annotations but keep pdf read only - PDF embed API

Hello everyone,

When I use "showAnnotationTools:true" all anotations from all users show up very nicely with the comments as in the first screenshot. Once annotations are finalised I display the same PDF as read-only with "showAnnotationTools:false" and then all details of existing saved annotations become invisible in the PDF enbed API (second screenshot).

So my questions are:

1. Is there a way to display the PDF like the "showAnnotationTools:true" version but keeping it read-only / display-only where the users cannot add any new annotation or cannot edit any existing ones but can see the whole history? (this is the important part)
2. Is it possible to directly open the right hand commenting panel by default when showAnnotationTools is enabled (like in the first screenshot) without the end user clicking on the "comments" button on the top right?

Also, if my first request (opening read-only with annotaions/comments showing) is not currently possible, can it be added as a feature requests. I believe it might not be too complicated to add a flag like "readOnly:true" in general or "showAnnotations:true".

Thanks in advance.
