The program "File Open Author 2.5" has a lot of PDF security features
including, "Lock documents to hard disk, CD-ROM, or Web browser (prevents
saving of documents offline)".   That sounds to me like the save function
is disabled and the PDF could be viewed, but not saved.   I've used this
before on a CD-ROM subscription product where the files "expired" (we said
they "blowed up" because we're silly like that) and were no longer viewable
after 3 months, just in time for the next CD-ROM.  The rub is that there's
no Acrobat 6 version yet.  As we sometimes find out, that doesn't
necessarily mean it won't work with 6, just that it's not "supported".
Also, I think the whole organization is one guy, but he might have expanded
in recent years as we used this program 2 years ago and the CD-ROM product
has since gone online.

I deleted the email, but this goes out to the nice lady who didn't want the
bad people to save her precious PDFs.
