Yes, it's generally a very bad thing when your customers start asking for DRM protection. Aside from licensing a very expensive library and writing to their APIs to protect the files (because this is not something one just starts coding oneself), the next-best thing you can do is a form of 'social protection': If you are able to use standard PDF password protection, then choose a password that the recipient would be very unwilling to give out. Make it their credit card number. You can generally reduce piracy quite a bit by forcing people to enter their full name and credit card number as the 'unlock code', because they're not going to want to send that out to their friends, or post that file onto the internet, complete with unlock codes.
