Sure these must be a FAQ somewhere, but maybe not, so here goes:

try hyperref:

pdfpagemode   FullScreen, gets rid of everything(!)

pdftoolbar	false
pdfwindowui	false
pdfmenubar	false

E.g. experiment with:

\usepackage[pdftoolbar=false, pdfmenubar=false, pdfwindowui=true]{hyperref}
and/or
\usepackage[pdfpagemode=FullScreen]{hyperref}

\pdfcrypt{none}
or
\pdfcrypt{none print} % i.e print allowed
etc.
but I seem to recall the syntax changed with a later version. Whatever 
"pdfcrypt" is your search term.

(Check in Acrobat: FILE -- DOCUMENT INFO -- SECURITY to both see what you 
have achieved and what the options are.)

There _are_ easy ways around the relative `protection' ...

"copying" As far as I know no-one (not even DVD manufacturers ;-)>) have 
found a way of stopping the copying of electronic files. (Also if you could 
no-one could download them and/or move from hard disc to RAM or ...) But you 
probably didn't mean that.

Hope these help,
