Perhaps I missed it, but is there a way in Acrobat to set time-limits for use of a PDF
(for example, a daily newspaper), such that it will not be readable after several hours
or days? I've seen discussions on how to do that with custom scripting, and perhaps there is a
server DRM option, but I want to have this work on standalone machines,
disconnected from the network.

Locking the content to a particular machine is a would-be-nice.
