It provides some protection, but not complete protection.  I don't know
how good the password protection in Acrobat is (if it's the same as that
in Adobe's eBook Reader, it's been famously broken).

If someone can view a PDF file, they can make a copy of it in some way,
even if it's only a screen capture.
