Stop wondering if your documents are being read. Get real-time notifications when someone opens your PDFs and see exactly how they engage with your content.
What is Document Tracking?
Document tracking is the ability to monitor how people interact with your PDFs and documents after you share them. Instead of sending a file and hoping for the best, you get complete visibility into document engagement.
