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.

What you get with Pro
Forty opens. How many people?
Free lists visits, so one reader who opened your deck four times looks like four strangers. Pro stacks those visits under the person behind them, keyed on the address they gave your link.
You sent it to one person. Three opened it.
Watermark every page with a line you write, allow or block specific addresses, and make each reader confirm theirs with an emailed code before the document opens.
You fixed the deck. They still have last week's link.
Upload the new version and every link you already sent starts serving it. The people holding your old URL just see the current file.
Forty recipients, forty links, one paste
Send bulk personalized links to your whole list, so the reader list you get back already knows who was who.
You hear about it Monday. They read it Thursday.
An email the moment your link opens, and a Reading Report once they finish showing how far they got.
Room to grow
10GB storage, up to 500 files, unlimited share links, 250MB per file, 24 months of analytics history, folders to keep it organized, and CSV export whenever you want your data out.
All plans include secure hosting, GDPR compliance, and files stored durably on redundant cloud storage
