asked on How to create self-destructing documents?
Hi experts!
We are looking for a way to modify/encrypt documents, so that they are only usable to a specified date. Also copies the staff might create have to inherit this property. OS will be Windows Vista, documents are .pdf or .doc.
Do you know one?
I am aware that this is absolutely no protection against text extraction/printing/photos

It will be able to do both of the options that you mentioned. It also has options that will let you control printing, emailing, etc of the documents using policies.

@the rest of you: I'll first follow the ADRM thought of xxdcmast but come back to you.
Ok... xxdcmast, before I dig into this: how much effort and cost could this mean? This is just for a few documents we have here (say 5 per month), so we are about to evaluate if the effort is worth it.

To be honest with you I havent worked with this since I left my last company which was 4 years ago. We were running the 2003 rights managment package. There is a decent amount of setup/prep work involved to get this up and running but I cant say for sure if that has changed in the newer versions.
What about an application runnig in the background monitoring pdf files ie:
topsecret-2012-07-11.pdf wich means that this pdf will be deleted on 2012/07/11 so the app is checking every minutte if exists a pdf file with an older date than the actual
topsecret-2012-07-11.pdf wich means that this pdf will be deleted on 2012/07/11 so the app is checking every minutte if exists a pdf file with an older date than the actual
Peter, someone can easily rename the file and/or what if they save their own pdf with a date format?

OK, I am looking into IRM/DRM options that office 2010 offers right now. Anyone experienced?
My problem is http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officesetupdeploy/thread/d2870614-62f5-4cc9-80ed-38a94d6e1e73 - the permission option is missing for me, too. We run off2010 Prof. Plus SP1 on Vista/Win7.
What needs to be installed/setup to get that button? I am not gonna experiment with regkeys as mentioned in the link I provided as I don't think it has anything to do with solving it.
Another question: can we use this office features somehow without activating the server role ADRMS?

No experience, anyone?

I distributed the points amongst all answers that seem promising. Grading B as there was no response to my last questions.
Thank you!
Thank you!
You wrote "This will let you do a lot of what you were requesting" - obviously, I request two features: "day-x-selfdestruct" and inheritance when copied. What of these 2 don't you see as fulfilled?
