PDF download link that expires after one use?

Report · May 05, 2016

I need to find a way to make a link inside a PDF (Created in Acrobat Pro DC) that expires after one use. The PDF is downloaded after a customer buys an interactive quiz. The PDF is solely to provide customers with a link ( that's cloaked by ) that will take them to the quiz. I don't want them to share with friends, reusing, ect. I need that link to expire for THAT download only. I need the same PDF to work to deliver the same link to other customers when they buy the quiz, or for the same customer if they want to come back and buy one for a friend using the same computer. Any ideas out there on how to do that or if it is even possible? Thanks in advance for your time.

You can DRM-protect your PDFs but that costs money. You can send a new link in each PDF and have your server to perform download for this link only once.
