PDF tracking software in one link
Turn any PDF into a trackable link and see exactly who opened it, which pages they read and how long they lingered. No download for them, no guessing for you.
Opened 9:14amA sent PDF tells you nothing
You send the proposal, the report, the deck, and then nothing. No idea if it was opened, skimmed on a phone in a lift, or buried unread under forty other emails. An attachment gives you zero feedback and a cloud share link is barely better: a view count at best, and usually not even that. I spent years sending decks into inboxes and hoping, and hoping is not a follow-up strategy. Document tracking software closes that gap. The link reports back, so you know what actually landed before you pick up the phone.
Tracking that tells you what landed
Opened 9:14amSee which pages they actually read
Most PDF tracking software gives you an open and a timestamp. LiveDocument shows you the whole read: page by page, how long they spent, what they went back to, and when. You stop guessing which part of the pitch landed and start knowing.
Opened 9:14amOne link that works everywhere
No download, no attachment, no version chaos. Your PDF opens in the browser on any device, always shows the current version, and drops straight into an email, a message or a CRM sequence. One link to share, one place to watch.
Share your proposal
Anyone with the link can view. No sign-in.
Better than the tools you're tracking with now
A cloud share link
Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive links are easy, and for a holiday itinerary they are fine. But once it is sent you get no real tracking: no idea who opened it, no per-page data, and a file anyone with the URL can pass on.
A tracker like DocSend
DocSend is genuinely good at this. It tracks opens and time on page well. What it does not do is let you guide the reader or talk them through the document. It tracks attention, it does not help you communicate.

LoomLoom plus a PDF
A Loom is a great walkthrough, but the video and the document sit in two separate tabs with no tracking tying them together. LiveDocument keeps them in one trackable link, so you see the document read and the video watched.

PDF tracking software FAQs
PDF tracking software turns a document you send into a link that reports back. Instead of emailing an attachment and hoping, you share one trackable link and see who opened it, which pages they read and how long they spent. LiveDocument does this and lets you attach a video walkthrough on top.
Upload your PDF to LiveDocument, share the single link it gives you, then watch your dashboard. Every open is logged in real time, so you know the moment someone views it and how many times they come back.
Yes. LiveDocument gives you page-level analytics, not just a view count. You see which pages held attention, which got skimmed and what the reader went back to, so you know exactly what to say on the follow-up.
DocSend is genuinely good at tracking attention: opens and time on page. What it does not do is let you guide the reader or talk them through the document. LiveDocument tracks the read and lets you add a video walkthrough, so you are communicating, not just measuring. See the full comparison on our LiveDocument vs DocSend page.
No. They open one link in their browser and everything is there. No account, no download, no app to install. The tracking happens quietly on your side.
Yes, and this is the part no plain tracker does. You can attach a video walkthrough to your trackable link and add clickable highlights that jump the video to a section. You then see the document read and whether the walkthrough was actually watched.
