I ran into this problem too recently. In one department at my workplace, I set
up a computer where employees can read PDFs and fill out PDF forms. There is
one particular form that each of them has to fill out every two weeks. I
discovered that I could avoid the problem of each person seeing (and having to
delete) the details entered by the previous person by renaming the pdf file to
a random temporary filename before opening it. Then I realized that by serving
the pdf file from a local webserver, and having them open the pdf from a link
in firefox, I would get the random temporary filename for free without having
to script it. It is certainly a kludge, but it seems pretty usable for now :)
