From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  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 {web site}.  Examples
          include the Word and Adobe Acrobat viewers.
