+## Description
+
+When using the [TelerikPdfViewer](https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/components/pdfviewer/overview) for Blazor, upload controls may still be visible while a PDF file is loading, even if the `EnableLoaderContainer` parameter is set to `false`. 
+
+This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:
+
+- How to prevent interaction with Upload controls while a PDF is loading in TelerikPdfViewer?
+- How to hide Upload component in TelerikPdfViewer until the PDF file is fully loaded?
+- How to use custom CSS with TelerikPdfViewer to manage control visibility?
+
+## Solution
+
+To control the visibility of upload controls in the `TelerikPdfViewer` while a PDF is loading, apply custom CSS to hide the upload controls. This can be achieved by leveraging the [`OnOpen`](slug://components/pdfviewer/events#onopen) event to apply a CSS class with the required styles that hide the controls until the PDF file is loaded successfully.
