I'm seeking guidance on how to implement restrictions in Adobe Acrobat for a PDF document. I have password-protected the file, but I'm looking to further restrict users from accessing the 'Save As' option and also prevent them from saving the opened file locally. Is there a way within Adobe Acrobat to disable the 'Save As' functionality for a password-protected PDF? Additionally, is there a method to prevent users from saving the document after opening it, even if they have the password to access it? I've tried exploring the security settings in Adobe Acrobat, but haven't found a direct solution for this particular issue. Any insights, tips, or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated.

It really would be pointless, since if one can view the file, one can take a screenshot, either from the device itself, or with a camera. And if one has access to the file to view it, one can copy it.
