Send, Engage, Track & Analyze. PDFs but better.
Document sharing with a video walkthrough built in. Add a walkthrough to any PDF, send the whole thing as a single link, track opens, and see which pages had the most impact.
Your PDF vanishes into the void
Note from the founderCam JamesI spent years sending one-pagers into the ether. Did they open it? Share it? Reach the page that mattered? I never knew. LiveDocument closes that gap, so you finally see how your documents land.
Live in minutes
Upload your PDF
Drop in the proposal, deck or report you were about to email. It opens in the viewer, exactly as the reader will see it.
Record your walkthrough
Talk through it like you would in the room. Add clickable highlights that jump the video straight to the page you are talking about.
Share one link
Send a single link. No download, no attachment, no second tab. Then watch which pages they actually read.
Be in the room without being there
A flat PDF makes the reader do all the work. Record a walkthrough and you are back in the room: your voice, your emphasis, your "here is the bit that actually matters". They read the document and hear you explain it at the same time.
- Record straight over your document
- You show up as a video bubble, not a separate file
- Re-record any time without resending the link
No downloads, no attachments, just one link
Attachments are where good documents go to rot. Wrong version, 14MB bounce-back, opened on a phone that mangles the layout. LiveDocument is one link that opens in the browser, looks right everywhere, and always points at the current version.
- Opens in the browser, nothing to install
- Always the latest version, no v3-final-FINAL
- Share by link, email, or paste it anywhere
Click a highlight, jump the video to the right moment
This is the bit that ties it together. Highlight a clause, a chart, a line item, and when the reader clicks it the walkthrough jumps straight to where you explain it. The document and the video stay in sync, so nobody is scrubbing through eight minutes to find the thirty seconds they need.
- Highlight any section of the document
- Each highlight links to its moment in the video
- Readers self-serve the answer to the question they actually have
See what landed, page by page
Opens and time-on-page tell you they looked. LiveDocument shows you what they did: which pages they read, what they replayed, what they came back to a second time, and when. That is the difference between guessing your follow-up and knowing exactly what to lead with.
- Time spent on every page
- What they revisited, and how often
- A nudge the moment they open it
Honest about where everything else fits
DocSend
Genuinely strong at tracking and access control on a document. But it tells you about attention, not comprehension, and it does not put your voice next to the page.
Loom + a PDF
Loom is great video and the PDF is your real document. The catch is they live in two separate tabs, with nothing syncing the right clip to the right page.
Email attachment
Universal and friction-free to send. After that you are blind: no version control, no analytics, no guidance, and the reader is on their own.
LiveDocument's one job is closing the comprehension gap: the walkthrough, the document, the highlights, and the analytics in a single link. Fair warning, if all you need is raw file tracking with no video, a dedicated tracker may be lighter. We would rather you knew that than found out later.
See the full feature walkthroughQuestions, answered
LiveDocument lets you attach a recorded video walkthrough to a PDF and share the whole thing as a single link. Readers watch you explain the document, click highlights that jump to the right moment, and you see exactly which pages they read.
Upload your PDF, record a quick walkthrough over it, and send the single link LiveDocument creates. There is nothing to download and no attachment, and the link always points at the latest version.
No. The link opens straight in the browser on any device, with your walkthrough and the document together. No app, no plugin, and no file for them to lose.
Yes. LiveDocument shows page-level engagement: how long someone spent on each page, what they revisited, and when they opened it. That is the comprehension signal, not just an open.
DocSend tracks attention but keeps the document silent, and Loom plus a PDF leaves your video and document in separate tabs. LiveDocument keeps them in one link with clickable highlights that sync the video to the page.
Yes. You get five live documents free with no card needed, then a flat monthly fee once you need more. You can try every feature on this page before you pay anything.
