It should be possible to switch the frame in readonly mode, you can do ti via the UI (left to the PDF button). I don't think you have to reload the whole document. Just make sure that your internal meta data reflect the new version etc. But that can be optimized later. In general I believe the workflow via the normal file dialog is possible but it seems to be too complicate. But this can be changed later as well. When I think about a sidebar where we can much better provide checkin and checkout this will be the way to go for the future. For using the file dialog I can think about a context menu to checkout a document. Default is without checkout and readonly. But an open document can than via sidebar checked out. Save is somewhat special and I can think of a workflow where I can save the document locally but all changes will be lost if I don't checkin finally. If the document frame close or the office close the user will be asked. But of course this is more work and some further investigation is necessary to figure out how to do it best. This is not scope of your project keeping in mind that only 2 weeks are left. But we have an UCP where we can work with and that we can extend ...
