# Features - PDF Tracking & Reader Analytics

The specimen catalogue

# Every feature, one catalogue.

Every capability, set out like a stationer’s specimen sheet — numbered, filed by chapter, and linked to the full spec.

Chapter I

## Readership.

### Page tracking & analytics

Every page turn timed, every visit logged — how far each reader got, and which pages they went back to.

Read the spec →

### Folders & aggregated analytics

Group documents by client or campaign and read the totals for the whole set at once.

Read the spec →

### Read receipts

Let readers confirm receipt — logged right beside how far they read.

Read the spec →

### Google Analytics (GA4)

Pipe every share-link visit straight into your own GA4 property.

§ Live UI - Sample data

## The real dashboard

The genuine EveryPage readership dashboard, shown here with sample data - not an illustration.

Chapter II

## The reading room.

### Flipbook & viewer modes

Standard, flipbook, swipe, or magazine — pages that turn in 3D, rendered in-app.

Read the spec →

### Magazine mode

Two-page spreads that turn like the printed issue — zoom, fullscreen, and thumbnails built in.

Read the spec →

### Swipe / story mode

Fullscreen story-style reading for phones — a progress bar, tap to advance, pinch to zoom.

Read the spec →

### Custom branding & CTA

Your colours, logo, and a call-to-action button on every page of the viewer.

Read the spec →

### Interactive hotspots

Draw clickable areas that open links, jump pages, or play video — each activation counted.

Read the spec →

### Reader comments

Readers respond on the document itself; you moderate, hide, or re-scope each note.

Read the spec →

### Custom domain

Share from docs.yourcompany.com — one CNAME, automatic HTTPS, readership intact.

Read the spec →

Chapter III

## Access & protection.

### Secure sharing

Password, right-click and print blocking, and screenshot deterrence in one toggle set.

Read the spec →

### Lead capture & email gate

Put a form in front of the document and capture every reader by name and email.

Read the spec →

### Watermarking

Tile each page with the viewer's identity so a leaked copy points back to its source.

Read the spec →

### Self-destructing links

Give a link a view budget; it deletes itself when the count runs out.

Read the spec →

Chapter IV

## Distribution & delivery.

### QR codes

Turn any document into a scannable QR code for print — separately attributed.

Read the spec →

### Dynamic links

Swap the file behind a link and every QR and embed serves the new version instantly.

Read the spec →

### Invites & distribution lists

Send a tracked link to a whole list and see who opened it, by name.

Read the spec →

### Webhooks & Slack

A signed POST — or a Slack ping — the moment a document is viewed or downloaded.

Read the spec →

### Zapier integration

Triggers and actions in 7,000+ apps — fire a Zap when a document is read, a lead is captured, or a copy is downloaded.

Read the spec →

### WordPress plugin

Embed tracked PDFs in posts — flipbook included — share from the Media Library, and read the analytics in wp-admin.

Read the spec →

### Make integration

Instant triggers and 19 modules for Make (ex-Integromat) scenarios — tracked links with GDPR-friendly analytics, no reader IPs stored.

Read the spec →

### n8n node

A binary-native community node: PDFs in, tracked links out, HMAC-verified instant triggers — and AI Agent nodes can drive it as a tool.

Read the spec →

### Notion embeds

Paste a link into Notion and choose Embed — the tracked viewer renders in-page, and every read session syncs as a row into a Notion database.

Read the spec →

### AI assistants (MCP)

Ask Claude, Cursor or any MCP client to share a PDF and it hands back a tracked link — then tells you who read it and where they stopped.

Read the spec →

### Close CRM

Every read, download and form fill lands on the matching lead’s timeline in Close as an EveryPage activity, with pages read and time spent.

Read the spec →

### Word → PDF

Upload a .docx and EveryPage converts it to a clean, fully trackable PDF.

Read the spec →

### DocSend → PDF

Paste a DocSend link you were sent and get the deck back as a PDF you can keep.

Read the spec →

### PowerPoint → PDF

Upload a .pptx or .ppt deck and share it as a tracked, slide-by-slide PDF link.

Read the spec →

Chapter V

## Review & proofing.

### Photo proofing

Reviewers pick, maybe, or reject each page; you get a per-page tally and a CSV.

Read the spec →

### Annotations

Readers draw a box on any page and pin a comment to it; you see every note in one place.

Read the spec →

## Sealed & filed

**Encrypted at rest**
Files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in a chunked streaming format - tamper, truncation, and reorder evident - and are never held in memory whole, even at the 2GB size cap.
**Per-user keys**
Each account has its own encryption keys, wrapped by a master key that never touches the database. Anonymous uploads get a fresh single-file key.
**No IP addresses**
We never store visitor IPs. Readers are identified by a salted one-way hash, countries are derived in-flight, and the address is discarded - analytics without surveillance.
**Expiry you control**
Set any link to expire - an hour, a day, a year, any date you choose - or set none and keep it indefinitely, on every plan. Readers can see a live countdown to the expiry, and expired files are swept from disk within the minute, so nothing lingers unless you want it to.
**Sessions, not trackers**
Readership is first-party measurement of your own document, inside our viewer. No third-party scripts, no cookies following anyone across the web.

Honest small print: a reader's browser must receive the pages to display them - download controls deter, they don't DRM.

## Feature questions.

### Which viewer modes does EveryPage support?

Four: the standard scrolling viewer, a page-turning flipbook, a magazine spread, and a mobile swipe deck. You pick the mode per document, and every mode reports the same page-by-page readership.

### How do I control who can open my PDF?

Password-protect the link, require an email address before viewing, set an expiry date or a self-destruct view limit, and issue per-recipient links you can revoke individually - without touching anyone else’s copy.

### Can I update a PDF after sharing the link?

Yes. Dynamic links let you swap the file behind a link you have already sent, so the deck in an old email always opens the latest version. QR codes keep working too.

### Which features are on the free plan?

The free plan covers sharing with page-by-page reader analytics on up to 3 active PDFs. Advanced controls - custom domains, email capture gates, CSV export, watermarking and more - arrive with Basic and Pro.

### How are my documents stored?

Every file is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, and readers’ IP addresses are never stored - readership uses pseudonymous identities instead.
