Help. Look for a software that can self-destroy a document file in a week and will not allow viewer

I just need to send some document, can be in any viewable format, by
email.
I look for a software that can self-delete or self-destory the file
after 1-2 weeks, and also makes the reader not able to print out the
file but be able to view it.

please help.

 

Anyone with half a brain will be able to get around it. So what's the
point?

 

Sigh!

You may be able to write a script or executable program to output your
document to screen, then self delete.
You may even program it to modify itself to record the number of days since
opening and delete itself when its past it's use by date.
But if you allways open a 'copy' then you won't delete the original.
If it is saved to a read only medium like a CD Rom then you 'can not' delete
or modify it anyway. (or "destory" it to use your word)

Preventing printing is also difficult. As soon as it's displayed on the
screen pressing the "Print Screen" key will copy it to the Clipboard, from
where it can be 'Pasted' to Paint and printed out. Then there is a gadget
called a Camera.....

Gota ask, what are you trying to hide?

Well, you could write a program that displays an encrypted document
stored as a resource, and is protected by a time-out mechanism using
Armadillo or similar.

Note that time-out mechanisms can always be bypassed unless they are
internet-based.
