See which pages of your PDF were read.

Tracking starts with the first open, so make a shareable link for a PDF and send it as you would any other link. The reader needs no account and sees no email form. NudgeHost’s own PDF viewer draws the pages, on a phone or a computer, and the bar above them tells every reader the same thing: "The sender sees which pages were read, never who."

Each second the tab is in view, every page filling at least half the screen gains a second, and a page shorter than the screen needs half of itself showing. A page counts as read once it has a whole second. Pages scrolled past faster than that don’t count, and neither does time with the tab in the background. The viewer reports every 15 seconds and once more when the reader leaves, so a closed tab keeps what it showed.

Every account sees the average pages read for each PDF, on the link’s own dashboard page and under its open count in the list of links. The Pro plan and Studio add the average reading time and, for each open, the pages read, the time spent and the country. The CSV export adds every page’s seconds for each open.

Page data is stored on the open’s own record, which is also how you view opens on a shared link. That record keeps the time and country it already had, plus page numbers and seconds. No IP address, browser details, cookie or email goes with it, and the record is deleted after 12 months.

Page data helps most with a deck sent before a meeting. If most opens stop at page 3, you know where to start the call. The steps to share a deck with a client cover sending it as a PDF, and Pro and Studio let you add a password to your shared link when the figures inside are private.
