Correct.
The PDF expiry, and other such restrictions are done with the full
version of Adobe Writer Professional.

But there are _many_ ways around it.
All it does is make it harder for the user to use them and require a
potential thief to require _intention_ to steal it.

there _is no_ way to totally secure an online document, all he can do
is try to limit the damage and make it harder to steal.
Most Linux based software won't let him try to do that either :-)
he'll have to go windows or mac for that.
