RE: pdf software

["Spreadbury, David C." <David -dot- Spreadbury -at- marconi -dot- com>]

When you create the PDF, Acrobat has a Security Options dialog that allows
you to protect the contents of the PDF from copying, printing, etc. Just set
the security you want and your readers can't do those things.

As far as the 30 day thing, due diligence on the part of your web person to
remove the file(s) after the expiration date is about the only way I can
think of.

Boss wants PDFs that can't be saved after they're opened (i.e., he wants to
prevent people saving a second instance of the file).

Also, he wants PDFs that have an expiration date -- the file is only good
for, say, 30 days, and after that Poof it isn't accessible.

I've never seen PDFs that do either, but I'm not a PDF expert.

Suggestions for software that can do either or both?  We have on board
RoboHelp's PDF utility, which is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn't do
either of these things that I can discover.

thanks
Ellen
