Track opening of a pdf

[Former Community Member]

I am trying to have some type of tracking system for when a user opens a pdf. Is there a way to provide notification or logging to the server when a pdf document is opened?

Rights Management supports "auditing" of documents protected wioth a RM policy.  If you enable auding in the policy you create, you will be able to view an event log on the server side, events such as "Document Open" are tracked so you can see who opened a protected document and when it was opened.

Thanks Steve,

Is this by using anonymous authentication? How can I enable this feature?

Thanks,

The "auditing" functionality is anabled bgy default on the server side.  It can be cionfigured via the LiveCycle Administrative UI (Services > Rights Management > Configuration > Audit and Privacy Settings)

Then you enable "auditing" at the policy level on a policy by policy basis...

You can use auditing with "Anonymous" access policies or Specific user polcies.
