NSScrollView has the ability to automatically turn the scroll controls
off if they sense that the document view has a size in relation to the
content view that doesn't require the scroll controls. I believe it
should be as easy as resizing you document (possibly adding it again to
the scroll view) and having automatic scrolling turned on (or
explicitly turning them off).

Review NSScrollView's setHasHorizontalScroller:,
setHasVerticalScroller:, and setAutohidesScrollers: methods.
