Adobe Document Cloud helps you track and manage shared PDFs. You can check who has viewed your file, track review comments, and manage shared documents. You can easily manage document access and collaboration by tracking shared and received files, including recipient activity like views and comments.

Track activity for a shared PDF document

You can share your PDFs and track user actions with your files in real-time. Monitor who views your proposals, job offer letters, and sales contracts, or track investor interest in pitch decks. Check when the recipients view or open critical legal documents like NDAs and contracts, and ensure compliance and security. 

• Track access: Track how many times the shared document has been opened, including anonymous views on publicly shared links
• Track actions: Track the access status to monitor if invited collaborators have opened the document. Check whether they have added comments or feedback if they have viewed it.

The total view count increases each time a recipient opens the file, whether in the app or a browser, including anonymous views. Views from removed recipients are also counted.

Track all shared and received PDFs

You can track the files you have shared and received, making managing document access and collaboration easier. Acrobat records recipient activity when you share a file, such as when they view or comment on the file.
