When you serve a PDF on a web site, it has to be downloaded in order to be viewed in the browser. You can't prevent them from downloading the file, however you can restrict them from copying or printing by setting the security settings by choosing File > Properties and defining the security there. Choose Password security and assign a password to the file and restrict copying and printing for the document. Keep in mind that Password security can be removed using 3rd party tools.
