Ivo,
You cannot set an expiry flag to a PDF file, encrypted with PDFs standard
encryption technique. At the end it is the certificate that is going to expire
and not the encrypted document.
The Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server seems to offer such things... but until now
I've never seen such a file in the wild.
Cheers!
Jan

Subject: Re: Adobe Acrobat Certificates?
thank you, Steve. I already have a trial certificate from you guys. I need
to check your pricing when it expires (90 days) to determine whether I will buy
one.
Alas, I want to learn what the capabilities of certificate encryption are,
and what happens when they expire. (In particular, I want to create a document
that expires in, say, 3 years.)
So, I want to be able to create some test certificates that expire in
tomorrow, the day after, etc., and then see whether the document becomes
unusable. Unfortunately, Acrobat Pro seems to create 5-year certificates
only. so, I need some sample certificates, and I figure openSSL can do
this...somehow.

Ivo,
GlobalSign offers Adobe CDS based certificates to the market so we are very
familiar with Adobe Acrobat. If you want to create a simple PKCS#12 self
signed certificate and you have Acrobat Pro, then go into the 'Advanced'
settings menu 'Security Settings' and simply click on 'Add ID' and a wizard
will guide you through the process to end up with a PKCS#12 or an exportable
certificate in your Windows PC cert store. It's very easy.
If you ever then need a real CDS (Recognizable by PDF reader worldwide)
certificate GlobalSign would be pleased to help get one for you.
Good Luck

Dear openssl experts---is anyone using openSSL certificates for adobe
acrobat? if so, can this person please tell me the magic invokation
to create a pkcs#12 certificate that expires in x days (linux), and
perhaps how to get it working under Acrobat Pro (windows)? I am not
an IT person, and my encryption knowledge is rudimentary. sorry to
take everyone's time with this. sincerely, /iaw
