You are trying to impose a technical restriction that is useless.  
Anyone can right-click on a link and say “save link as” – or just  
fetch the URL directly using wget or any other tool. That makes it  
always possible to save the PDF.

There are also PDF viewers which will ignore restrictions like “no  
copy and paste”.
