If you use set this property to True, a Document file is opened with read-only permission. A VPE document file can not be created, if this flag is specified. You can only use it to open an existing file for read-only purposes.

If a VPE document file is opened for read / write (the default), no other application can open this file - even if it tries to open the file with read-only permission. Multiple applications can open the file at the same time only, if all applications use ReadOnly = True.

If you read an existing document file with ReadDoc() into memory, you should set the read-only mode to True. In this case the document file is not opened in exclusive-mode and therefore other applications and users can browse and print it simultaneously.
