What documents can I track?

What will you tell me about my tracked documents and PDF's?

We not only let you know when your document or PDF was opened, but we will also endeavor to let you know:

Date, time, location, ISP, etc regarding each reading
Recipient / reader details
When applicable, details showing when your document was Printed out (on paper) or Saved (a copy made to disk)
Details on whether or not it was forwarded (and where possible; to whom)
Which pages of your PDF were read
Length of time read
How many times it was opened and re-opened (with optional instant notifications each time)

Do I have to be registered with ReadVerify to send a tracked document?

Yes - otherwise you wouldn't be able to receive any tracking reports from us.

It's completely free to try. After registering for our free trial, you'll have access to all ReadVerify.com services (including document and email tracking).

How to add tracking your PDF's and Documents

Tracking your Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files

Your PDF's will (can) automatically be tracked by simply attaching them to your tracked email:

If not already registered, sign up for a ReadVerify Free trial
Attach your PDF to an Email (from your regular email program/service) and send it with tracking. Full PDF tracking (including invisible tracking options) are only available for Premium yearly subscribers. For free trials, monthly and basic users, your recipients will be asked to allow the transfer in order for your PDF's to track.

You can turn your PDF tracking off at any time from your account settings under Member Utilities (when you log in)

Tracking your MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, and other OLE documents

To add tracking to your documents:

Log in to your ReadVerify account (sign up here for a free trail)
Follow the instructions from our Document Tracking Page

What happens next?

As soon as your document or PDF is sent it will be listed in your ReadVerify Personal Tracking Page (this looks a bit like the 'sent' folder in your own email client). Then, when your document or PDF has been opened, we'll send you an email ReadNotification. You can also log in to your account at any time to view the status of your tracked documents (and emails) from your Personal Tracking Page.
