You can apply a security policy that prevents Content Copying (in Acrobat via File - Properties - Security), but be aware that many PDF applications don't enforce it (unfortunately) and anyway it's very easy to get around it, if someone is willing enough.

Thanks But is there any way to just allow user to read the content ...and stoping him to copy content in any way ......

like I use Code

<object data="pathtofile#toolbar=0"></object>

Using that i hide the toolbar but still user can select the pdf content and copy it and paste it or user can use right click to save whole file....is there any way to disable copy and right click events or any other way to stop user to copy the pdf content
