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;

request.open("post", postURL, true);
request.send("123");
