PDF Tracking & Analytics: Know If They Actually Read It
You send a proposal, report, or deck — then silence. PDFTrackr shows who actually read it, which pages, and for how long, with bots and email scanners filtered out of your counts, so you know who's genuinely interested and worth a follow-up.

Built for the Documents Your Business Runs On
One tracked link tells you what an attachment never will.
Sales proposals
Know the moment a client opens your proposal and which sections they actually read — so you follow up on the pricing page, not on a guess.
Agencies & client reporting
Give each client their own secure link. See engagement per document, spot which client keeps coming back, and keep 12 months of history for the whole relationship.
Consulting reports
Did they read the report you spent three weeks on? Page-by-page tracking shows what landed and what got skipped — and an alert tells you the moment they finally open it.
Design & creative portfolios
See which projects a prospective client lingered on in your PDF portfolio — and lead your pitch with those.
Pitch decks
Track a single deck without a data room: who viewed it, which slides, and how long — plus a heads-up when an investor circles back for a second look.
Lead magnets
Beyond the download count: see which leads actually read your ebook, and how far.
Free tells you it was read. Pro tells you who to follow up with — and when.
Start free, no credit card. Free is the honest tracker, not a teaser — upgrade when knowing sooner starts to pay for itself.
