What do you mean by "protect from writing"? It's not possible to prevent someone from saving a copy of a PDF document on their machine. In fact, it has to happen for them to be able to view that document.

thanks try67

Actually I'm seeking for aversion of acrobat with full features(support all type of documents,language,encoding,..etc)
but prevent users from editing the document(this is what i mean by "protect from writing" on the file).

Look under File - Properties - Security. There you can add a password to the file and select what the user can and can't do with it (to some extent).
