The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 January 2023):

viewer

    A program to allow a file to be read (or played) but
   not changed.  Viewers are often freely distributable, even
   when the editor application is not.  This allows you to create
   files with the editor and make the viewer available to other
   users to view your files, e.g. on a website.  Examples
   include the Word and Adobe Acrobat viewers.
