A PDF has built-in support for securing them by encrypting the content and assigning usage rights. During the PDF encryption, all strings and byte streams are encrypted and the metadata stream is exempted so that it can be extracted during the parsing of the PDF file. So anyone interested to view the PDF documents must provide the password.
