You can disallow printing using the normal acrobat security settings on a PDF, but you cannot stop people using the "save" menus - they already have the file on their computer so there's no concept of preventing them copying it. You could purchase a DRM solution to stop OTHER people opening copies of the file, but the actual file can be passed about however people want.
