Hello Everyone,
I basically want to find out if there is a way to track all the link usage within my PDF publication. I want to do this so I know which links are being accessed the most. Just as Google Analytic's tracks site pages.
I was thinking that if each link had some kind of pre-link which sent the link data to before it went to the actual link it could then be tracked.
Maybe there is a system already out there?
I basically want to track all the interactivity within my publications to know if my marketing and advertising is being used and if so which ones are generating the most interest.
Thanks in advance to all your replies.
Regards,
Robert

Unless you change all your links to point to a proxy URL that counts them on your behalf, the answer is no. Adobe Acrobat and Reader do not report usage information to the public, and of course there's no guarantee your PDFs are being read by our software. Because a PDF hyperlink opens in your web browser, even when you use a proxy URL there's no way to tell if the click is coming from the PDF, or from someone who bookmarked it or was emailed the link from a friend. As far as the server is concerned, all it sees is a regular request from your browser.
