PDF Lifespan Tool?

Hello all,

I was trying to see if there is a way to give a PDF a lifespan? We would like to create a PDF that a user can view for 30-90 days and then no longer works. Is something like this possible using something from the XChange Pro pack of tools? Thanks for any ideas!

Standard PDF protection does not allow that.
For your purpose, you have to protect your files using one of the DRM protection systems.

Many PDF viewers, including PDF-XChange Editor, can open files protected by FileOpen DRM, but you have to use their system to create such files.

Also, in the near future, the Editor will support files protected by Microsoft Azure Information Protection. Hope for both opening and applying for protection.
