Removing toolbar from FlowDocumentReader

Question

I have a WPF app. In a window I want to show some text like this:

The text will be divided in 2 columns. I can do that with FlowDocumentReader. The problem is, I don't want the toolbar on the bottom to be shown (the one with zoom, page turn, search, etc.). I tried using FlowDocumentScrollViewer instead of FlowDocumentReader, the text isn't shown in 2 columns anymore.

How can I remove the toolbar on the bottom?

You could do it with a template. It is too much XAML for me to post (it won't let me) so here is how to do it yourself.

In Visual Studio (I'm using VS 2013), in the Document Outline window, right-click your FlowDocumentReader. Select Edit Template->Edit a Copy...

You will get the "Create ControlTemplate Resource" window:

Click OK. The third line of the template is the bottom grid/toolbar. Add Visibility="Collapsed" to it and it will not be visible.

<Grid Visibility="Collapsed" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Uid="Grid_31">...</Grid>
