Hi,
Every month I publish a pdf on the web containing around 300 outgoing hyperlinks generated by Acrobat. I now need to track the number of times each one of these links is clicked.
Has anyone found a way of doing this?

Many thanks,

David

I'm not sure how to do this from the PDF, but another solution would be to setup a redirecting script on your web server, and track them yourself.

i.e. your script is passed a parameter which is a key to a link, a redirect is then done to the actual link - you have tracking and an easy way to dynamically change links (do it from your webserver and not the PDF).
