Self destruct PDFs -- PDFs with an expiration date

Hi,
There's quite a lot of Google search results for "self destruct PDFs" but I haven't found a solution.
Is there third party software for giving a PDF an expiration date so that it can't be opened after a certain date?
Thanks,
David

Yes; you apply digital rights management using an Adobe LiveCycle policy server.
There are some supposed 'solutions' using JavaScript but they simply don't work.

  • Create a pdf document with an expiration date.

    as I can do to make the pdf document has an expiration date, starting from the date in which it has fallen.

    Actually, it can be done with JS, but it is far from a secure solution and there are various ways a user can get around it (download a new copy of the file, disable JS entirely, change their local time, etc.), so yes, for a real solution you'll need to use DRM technology.

  • Does JCE 1.2.2 make use of a certificate with an expiration date?

    Does JCE 1.2.2 make use of a certificate with an expiration
    date?
    If so, what's the date?

    The validation code which checked for certificate expiration was only found in JCE 1.2.1. It WAS REMOVED from JCE 1.2.2 and all successive releases like JCE in JDK 1.4.x and 5.x (and soon in 6.x). This expiration problem was the primary reason for releasing JCE 1.2.2 over three years ago. Export control regulations changed following the release of JCE 1.2.1, and Sun released 1.2.2 shortly thereafter so that customers wouldn't have this expiration problem.
    This change is documented as the first bullet in the change log for JCE 1.2.2, which is found both in the product distribution itself and on the following JCE product page:
    http://java.sun.com/products/jce/jce122_changes.html
    That said, JCE 1.2.2 is indeed signed with a certificate which is valid until October 2006, HOWEVER the JCE 1.2.2 and JCE in JDK 1.4.x/5.x code no longer checks that expiration date. All it cares about is that the code signature is valid.
    My understanding is that BOTH JDK 1.3.x and JCE 1.2.2 are slated for End-of-Life on March 30th, 2006, and will no longer be supported by Sun. Both should continue to work after that time, but will no longer be supported.
    I hope that helps clear the confusion.

  • PDF saving with the wrong date

    When I save a file, it saves with the wrong date: it is off by 5 years and 1 day and the time is completely wrong. This has been happening for months and has not been fixed by installing newer versions of Adobe Reader (I currently have version 10.1.7). The date/time on my computer is fine and Microsoft Word documents save with the right date & time...

    I'm actually having a similar problem with the computers that are used at my work, though not with a 5 year difference; Our pdfs get saved as if it were 2 days previous.  We  use mostly AutoCAD and print to PDF.  The pdf gets saved to a shared drive, but everything else that we save on that drive (word documents, excel spreadsheets, AutoCAD files, etc.) have the correct date.  I checked to see if maybe it had something to do with the time stamp server settings, but we don't have a server set up.  The time on all of our computers is also set to the current date and time.  We do sometimes save pdfs from outlook, from clients, but have the problem regardless of if we were using outlook or not.  It's not a terribly huge deal, but sometimes we check to see when pdfs were updated versus their corresponding drawings and it gets confusing when the date is off.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Connect Pdf Form with Air Sqllite data

    Hi, i would like to save my Pdf Form localy but i know about restrictions of 500 users (legal notes after giving advanced user permission).
    I thought about do it in air which could have my pdf form inside. I thought that people after filling form with data could save it localy by connecting PDF Form (embed in air) with Air database. So people could save it offline and fill rest form date f.e. after few days to complete it later.
    I don`t know any more option to save my form data localy (offline) without installing localhost database. Air installing is simple but i don`t know how should i start.
    Please tell me how can i connect my PDF Form with Air database?
    EDIT:Do you have any tutorials of that?

    I read also about JavaScript method of sending data from PDF form to AIR with using PostMessage (communicate throw JavaScript & HTML Object embed). Now i don`t know is there more easy way to communicate with SQL lite Air local database than using PostMessage command (more direct as setting up File>New Connection>OLEDB Database in Livecycle Designer)?

  • How to create pdf files with text field data

    how to create pdf files with text field data

    That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
    I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
    I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
    I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
    Any ideas?

  • Help with calculating expiration date

    Hi Microsoft Access community.
    I am trying to automatically set the expiration date in my table each time new data is entered which is +10 months -1 Day. My field name is called 'Best Before Date:', Data Type is called Date/Time, Format is set to 'Short Date' and under the Default
    Value field property I have two expressions I am trying to input.
    =DateAdd("m",10,Date())
    =DateAdd("y",-1,Date())
    These expressions work for me only when they are input separately. My issue is that I want to combine these two expressions but I don't know how.
    If anyone has any ideas of how to accomplish this task best please do help.

  • Can I have my email messages stored on my hard drive with no expiration date?

    My email server deletes emails after two weeks. When I used Outlook, the messages were automatically stored on my hard drive without an expiration date. Can I configure Thunderbird to do the same?

    Using the Inbox for long term message storage is a recipe for disaster.
    You should make folders for your "keeper" email under the Local Folder account and sort those messages into those folders.
    Read this article about maintaining your email folders.

  • Filling PDF Form with XML data file

    Hello everybody.
    I need help.
    I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
    I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
    (Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
    So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
    Thanks for your reply

    Hello Mike
    Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
    I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
    I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
    Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
    Thank you in advance for your reply

  • How can I add the expiration date at line item level

    My User is selling voucher. The voucher is sell at line item. eg GV$5, GV$10,etc
    Each voucher line item sold need to be entered with a EXPIRATION date of that voucher.
    Maybe 3 months from issue, maybe 6months/1 year from issue.
    How can I add this to the sales order line item level?
    Which field can I used and how to configure?

    Hi Colin ,
       The question is not very clear , but i assume that you are asking about the  self expiry date of the particular material ,
    1. The setting you can do by activating  shelf life data  in material master :Plant data/stor1
    2.  its better to have a batch managed material for that you can sort the material acording the self expiry date.
    3. Once you maintain self expiry date system by default pick  the material at the time of  delivery
    Note-Shelf life expiry it will give the life of the material from the day of manfacture,remaining shelf life also will  give .
    Hope it is helpful
    Best regards
    Venkat

  • Where is the batch expiration date stored?

    I created a GR and received in materials of a certain batch, assigning an expiration date. When I go into MSC3N I can see the batch with the expiration date that I assigned; however when I go into the batch table (MCHA) the field VFDAT (Shelf Life Expiration or Best-Before Date) is blank.  Where is this data being stored?  It must be somewhere because it's pulling into the program to view batches.
    Thanks.

    check in table MCH1.
    If data is stored in MCH1 or MCHA is dependend on your batch level.

  • Where do I find my Gamers Club Unlocked expiration date?

    I've searched everywhere I can think of in my Best Buy account and can't find any reference at all to my Gamers Club Unlocked subscription, let alone when it expires. Can someone please tell me where to find the expiration date? Thanks!

    Hello AchillesPDX,
    Thanks for being a Gamers Club Unlocked member.  I hope you've been enjoying all the perks.
    The place to find your Gamers Club status and expiration date (if Unlocked) is under the Rewards Overview page.
    To get there, click on "Account Overview" after hovering over the "MyBestBuy" tile across the top of BestBuy.com.
    Once this page opens, you will want to hover over "Rewards," then click on "Overview."  The next page will have the familiar Elite Status spend tracker at the top right.  Just below that is the Gamers Club status information.  It will appear if you are a free member.  If you are Unlocked it will also show you this along with your expiration date.
    I was able to confirm your expiration date, so I'll send you a private message with that information to ensure you have it.
    Thanks for writing in and have a great weekend!

  • How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

    Hi my name is vishal
    For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.
    Given below is my code in c# on how i export datas from different tables in sql server to PDF report using iTextSharp:

    doc.Open();
    PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
    table.TotalWidth =530f;
    table.LockedWidth = true;
    PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));
    cell.Colspan = 6;
    cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
    table.AddCell(cell);

    this.Close();
    The above code executes well with no problem at all!
    As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
    AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
    The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
    "Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
    "DialyzerID".
    However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
    column headers in table in pdf report from
    c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
    I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
    What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
    Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
    I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
    Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
    If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
    vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
    I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
    I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
    I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
    Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.
