It is possible to generate PDFs on-the-fly .. so you could generate the
PDF, it opens in their browser plug-in with the "Expires on ..." in the
margin, and they print. Voila.

Actually, this is probably what you want, right? What if the user saved
the file to disk and printed, say, a week later? Would you want the
expiration date to be two weeks from when they got the PDF from your site,
or two weeks from when they sent the job to the printer?

.: A user wants to be able to expire PDFs a couple of weeks after they

.:the document expires in two weeks from the time it was printed.

.:it ain't possible. Any thoughts?
