We want to provide a PDF for one month. I understand password and encrypting, but can there be a time limitation? If the PDF is stored on a website, what can be done to prevent the user from downloading outside of the date range? The file can be printable but not editable.
Thanks in advance.

No, that's not what I said. I said that a script in the PDF can be used to prevent the file from being opened after a certain date, not downloaded. To prevent downloading you would need to use a script on the server itself.
To give access to a limited time is even more complicated, as it require saving the initial time the user opened the file somehow, and if they don't save the file after opening it, that information will be lost and the protection (even more) useless.
