PDF read receipts
A PDF read receipt, page by page.
Track opens, time on each page, and return visits from one link.
01
Know the moment it's opened
Every open becomes a viewer session with a timestamp you can check in your dashboard.
02
See time on each page
Review page time and the order viewers opened pages. Use that activity to guide your follow-up.
03
Notice return visits
See when someone opens the link again. A return to pricing gives you a timely reason to follow up.
04
The link stays yours
Add a password or an expiry date, and turn the link off any time. Attachments can't do that.

Send the link
Email it, message it, or paste it in a proposal. Viewers open it in the browser, no account.

Questions
Tracking a PDF, answered.
How do I know if someone opened my PDF?
Send it as a Docshark link instead of an attachment. Every open is recorded with a timestamp, and you see it in your dashboard. The free plan includes 20 documents.
Can I see which pages they actually read?
Yes. Docshark shows time spent on each page and return visits, so you can see where a viewer spent time. Page-level analytics is included on every plan.
Do viewers need an account or an app?
No. They click the link and read in the browser. You can add a password, an expiry date, or email verification when it matters.
Is this really free?
Yes. The free plan includes 20 documents, page-level analytics, and 10 signature requests a month. No card required.
Can I stop someone from sharing the file?
You control the link. Set a password, restrict email domains, block downloads, add watermarks, or revoke access at any time.
What happens after they read it?
Add signature fields to the same link and close the deal there. The read history and the signatures stay on one envelope, with an audit trail you can export.
One more step
They opened it. Now get it signed.
Add signature fields to the same tracked link when you are ready. Page activity, signatures, and the audit trail stay with the same envelope.
