Hi All,

I want to set below two properties of PDF and not sure if they are supported or not:

1) Is it possible to set pdf Expire date; means suppose if i create it today then it should not be viewable after two days
2) Number of times PDF opened; means suppose if i set it to 5 then user should only be able to view it 5 times

Thanks for all your support.

Regards,
Mahesh.

You can only do these type of operations if you secure the PDF using a digital rights management solution, such as Adobe LiveCycle. DRM security is not free, and will require your users to view the PDF in Adobe software, but will permit you to revoke access on a per-user basis.
