Setting PDF time/usage limits enforced by Reader?

Perhaps I missed it, but is there a way in Acrobat to set time-limits for use of a PDF
(for example, a daily newspaper), such that it will not be readable after several hours
or days? I've seen discussions on how to do that with custom scripting, and perhaps there is a
server DRM option, but I want to have this work on standalone machines,
disconnected from the network.

Locking the content to a particular machine is a would-be-nice.

There is not a real working solution using standard pdfs and Acrobat Reader itself.

The embedded java script solution can be simply disabled/bypassed using adobe reader itself or by opening pdfs on third party pdf readers.

Pdf ownerguard can be used to do the licensing and apply time limits for offline users.
