Type file permissions in help and remove inheritance, delete, and create permissions. However if you can read it you can copy it.

If you can read a file you can copy it. A Copy is a read and a write. Look at products like Acrobat.

Think if I can read it I can use Save As and that saves it. What would encryption do. If you want them to read it they need to be able to unencrypt it. Therefore they can copy it.
