Tracking PDF Activity

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm looking for a better way to track PDF activity.  Specifically, when the PDFs are opened.

After searching online, I used the following function to add javascript to a test PDF.

iSedSetOpenActionJavaScript "this.getURL(""http://127.0.0.1/test.php?123"", false);"

It does connect to the website, but it does this through an Internet browser--not silently in the background.

Can anyone recommend a better approach?  I was hoping for something like www.Remote Approach.com

Thanks!

jt

	I don't know if you can embed AJAX style requests in the PDF javascript, but it might be worth a try. Try something like this: var request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); request.open("get", postURL, true); request.send; or request.open("post", postURL, true); request.send("123");
