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

.:a PDF file in a browser plug-in and selects print. The user wants to 
.:have a date printed on the PDF (watermark perhaps?) which says that 
.:the document expires in two weeks from the time it was printed.

.:it ain't possible. Any thoughts?
