How to protect a pdf - disable save feature
I would like to disable the save as feature on a pdf we are wanting to load onto the web. We do not mind people reading this pdf, but we would like it to be disabled to save, and even print if possible.
Is there a way to do this?

Just for the record, there are tools in the wild that remove this password protection. If you can live with that I guess less then 10% of you customers would know, then then pdf security protection should work for you.

Well I would just like to prevent most users from saving this pdf to their computer. I figured out how to disable the printing, and even copying I think.. but I do not want them to save it.. ??
What is so wrong with saving?
Usually blocking printing and copying is sufficient.
For anything else you need DRM systems.... annoying to users, expensive for you.

Well they just wanted to know if we could do this.. they do not want people copying what they have.. but if the only way to block saving a pdf is expensive they will not want to do it.
I am checking for all possible solutions so I can let these people know.
