The Now PDF Security Settings gives you several options to restrict access and options to users of your PDF file. The 'Add security to generated PDF documents' must be checked for any of the other options to be activated.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The top check box, "Add security to generated PDF documents" must be check for any other options to be applied.

Two levels of passwords: a password to open the PDF document, and a master password allowing someone to change all other PDF Security restrictions, permissions and passwords.
When 'No Printing' is selected, the 'print' option on the file menu will be grayed out preventing anyone from printing a paper copy of your PDF document.
'No Changing the Document' is pretty straight forward - without the master password, no one will be able to change your document even with PDF editors like Adobe Acrobat.
'No Content Copying or Extraction' prevents users from stealing text or graphics used in your PDF file.
'No Adding or Changing Comments and Form Fields' does just that - there are some software programs that allow you to add comments to PDF files or fill in forms, this option prevents the use of that type of software actions.
