Answer
I think that's a feature of the full Adobe Acrobat. You can set security options for the PDFs you produce with that tool.
Answer
Don't know if "Save a Copy" is a PDF feature, but for sure it is not a Secure option within Acrobat. I have the same problem. If anyone have the answer, please let us know.
Answer
You can't. In order to view the document, it is essentially downloaded to the PC viewing it. Depending on the viewer that is being used, the viewer application may not even honor this setting if it even exists.
If you all print on the document it could be printed to PDF on the client and strip all security settings from the file.
In short, if it can be viewed, there is no way to protect the content.
Answer
Encrypt pdf file so that it can be protected
Answer
Even if a file is encrypted, you can save the file. If you don't have the password to decrypt it, then you can't view it, but that is a different matter entirely.

How can you disable the save a copy button?
The PDF password security defined by Adobe can prevent copying
to the clipboard, but it does not prevent saving an entire copy of
the PDF file. If you use the "Save a copy" button, the permissions
on the new PDF file will remain intact.
There is no way to disable the "Save a copy" using the standard
Adobe Acrobat Professional software. There are more advanced
security solutions that allow more restrictions on PDF files such
as FileOpen Systems.

How do you copy a read only CD?
Some new programs may be able to pass through the read only
protection, if your program does not you will have to copy to hard
drive first, then disable the "read-only" attribute of files by
right-clicking files, and selecting "properties". In properties
un-check the box "read only" and save.
To copy files to hard drive you will have to use "Command
Prompt" accessible from the start menu, or you can go
start>run>cmd.exe
Once in command prompt the command to copy read only files is
xcopy:
xcopy (directory to copy from ex. e:\) destination (enter
destination parameters here) and hit enter
for more information you can also use the command: xcopy /?
if still in trouble try to google xcopy
