The lead magnet app for the half that gets you leads
Every lead magnet app helps you design the PDF. Almost none help you deliver it. LiveDocument hosts your lead magnet behind one link, captures the email, and shows you who actually read it, page by page.

You spent a weekend on it. Then it vanished.
I have built lead magnets for my own projects and for companies I did growth for, and the pattern stings every time. You pour real thought into the guide, wire up the form, watch the signups tick in, and then nothing comes back. The PDF disappears into a downloads folder and your follow-up emails are written to a ghost. Here is the part nobody mentions: the reading data you are missing is the best lead qualification you will ever get for free. Someone who read your whole guide and went back to the pricing section is not a subscriber. They are a warm lead with their hand half up. You just cannot see them.
Opened 9:14amOne link does the whole job
Upload and gate it
Drop in the finished PDF and switch on the email gate. Readers enter an email to open it, and that lead is yours.
Share one link everywhere
Bio, posts, ads, your email signature. One link, no attachments, and the file never floats loose around the internet.
Watch who actually reads
See every open, time spent per page, and which sections get revisited. Follow up with the readers, not the whole list.

The gate that pays for the guide
Your lead magnet exists to capture leads, so the gate is built in rather than bolted on. Reader clicks your link, enters an email, document opens. No landing page builder required, though it plays nicely with one if you have already got it.

Reading behaviour is lead scoring
A download tells you someone wanted the PDF. Reading data tells you who is worth a personal follow-up. See time on every page and the sections people came back to, so the subscriber who read your case study three times gets a different email from the one who bounced at the cover.
Opened 9:14amThe lead magnet nobody else is sending
Record yourself walking through the guide, and every reader gets you, on the document, talking them through it, with clickable highlights that jump the video to the section they are on. A PDF builds your list. A PDF with your face and voice on it builds the relationship the list is for.
Two things LiveDocument won't do for your lead magnet
It won't design the PDF
There is no editor and no template library here. Make the guide in Canva, Google Docs, Beacon, wherever you are quick. Export the PDF and bring it to us. We start where the design tools stop.
It won't send your sequences
LiveDocument captures the lead and shows you the reading data. The nurture emails still live in your email platform. Think of us as the layer between your form and your sequences that tells you what to say in them.

Frequently asked questions
Broadly, software that helps you create, deliver or capture leads from a free resource, usually a PDF. Most tools in the category are builders that design the asset. LiveDocument covers the other half: hosting the PDF, gating it behind an email, and showing you who read what so your follow-up is not guesswork.
Yes, that is the point. Every reader who passes the email gate is identified, and you see when they opened it, how long they spent on each page, and which sections they went back to.
No. Design it in Canva, Google Docs, Beacon or anything that exports a PDF, then upload the finished file. LiveDocument handles delivery, capture and analytics from there.
Not necessarily. The LiveDocument link with the email gate on it can be the destination for your bio link, posts or ads. If you already run landing pages, point the form's thank-you step at your LiveDocument link instead of an attachment.
There is a free tier to get started, and Pro is a flat $20 a month rather than per seat. Full details are on the pricing page.
