    I was told the programming section was the best place for this question, so am posting it here.

    When people pass on your Viral Free ebooks, how can we tel how many times the pdf is being opened(viewed)? - not Downloaded from a site, but opened

    some sort of counter enbedded in the ebook?

    (I dont mean how can we count the amount of times a PDF is 'downloaded' from a server,- or how many times the pdf has been downloaded from a webpage,)

    but how many times a pdf has been 'opened' /viewed


    Some sort of image counter/when the image is loaded live from wherever it is hosted, it shows as a count ?

    ie- if the ebook is opened 8 times- in 8 separate IP addresses, the image will be shown 8 times, showing that the ebook has been viewed 8 times.

    That sort of service/system. ?

    or any other system? /recommendations ?

    The number of times it has been downloaded and viewed are the same, since for them to view it, they would need to download it first.

    Peace,

    he hopes to count how many times somebody views a book after downloading it. Not possible due to security restrictions :(
