    This is possible with a DRM solution.

    No, not if you send it as email attachment.  They can do whatever they want with it once it reaches their inbox.

     

    Talk to your web developer.  Have him/her create a web page for downloading the PDF from a secure server you control, Amazon S3 Buckets for example.  Your developer should be able to restrict access to the PDF file at the server level or you can completely remove the PDF from your server when the time is right.  Your choice.

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Acrobat forum so that proper help can be offered.
