Binding PDF to a computer

Hi!

Is there any way to bind a policy protected PDF to the computer that first opens the document? I know fileOpen can bind a document
to the MAC address of the computer. Are there any way to achieve something similar with RMS?

Regards

I am not aware of anyway to achieve this.  Rights Management was designed to associate (bind) the document to a specific user or group of users as opposed to a specific device.

It is possible to determine the IP address of the systemn used to oipen the protected document, but this is not of much use if DHCP is being used.
