You can't disable the pdf viewer functionality in all browsers. The reason is that pdf files are often opened by plugins which take control of the data, and the browser has nothing to do with the view execution at that point.

Try using third part tools like Print2Flash which converts the document to swf format which provides many such options like restricting download.

If you don't want someone to have a file then don't put it on the internet.

If you want to secure your PDF you'll need to use one of the various mechanisms built in to the PDF creator\readers.
