PDF Expiration - Browsers - Add Corrupt JavaScript

[karthik13]

Hi Team,

we are trying to set expiration to the PDF File. Below is the code . Expired PDF is getting closed in Adobe Reader but not getting closed when opened in browsers like Chrome, Firefox etc.

I want to check if we could add any javascript which doesnt allow the PDF File to be read in Browsers when expired. Could you please suggest.

Code:
Document doc = new Document();
doc.getPages().add();
java.time.LocalDate date1=java.time.LocalDate.now().minusDays(10);
int year = date1.getYear();
int mon=date1.getMonthValue();
int dated=date1.getDayOfMonth();
JavascriptAction javaScript = new JavascriptAction(
“// Get the current date and time\n” +
“var rightNow = new Date();\n” +
“var endDate = new Date(2021, 03, 01);\n” +
“if(rightNow > endDate)\n” +
“{\n” +
“app.alert(“This Document has Expired.”);\n” +
“this.closeDoc();\n” +
“}”);
doc.setOpenAction(javaScript);
doc.save(dataDir + “PDFExpiry.pdf”);

Thanks,
Karthik

Hi Team, we are trying to set expiration to PDF File and do not want the file contents to be read by the users using any Other Application. Below is the code used for setting the expiration. File gets closed in Adobe Reader but can be accessed normally via Chrome/Edge etc. Is there a possible way to avoid users from reading the file contents.(Making PDF Blank, close file etc) using any application. Code: Document doc = new Document(); doc.getPages().add(); java.time.LocalDate date1=java.t…

Hi Fayyaz,

This Solution is not feasible as we want the users to not see the contents of document after specific period of time. if we add password, it would ask the password each time user opens the document. Please suggest.
