Share PDFs.
Own the access.

Yes. PdfWarden shows you exactly who viewed your PDF, including their email (if captured), IP address, location, device type, and the exact pages they read. You can see real-time viewer presence and get notified when someone opens your document.

When creating a share link, set an expiry date in the access controls. The link automatically becomes invalid after that date. You can also set view limits (e.g., max 10 views) or revoke access manually at any time from your dashboard.

Yes, when done transparently. PdfWarden is designed for legitimate business use cases like tracking proposals, pitch decks, and contracts. We recommend including a notice in your sharing communications that analytics are enabled. All tracking complies with GDPR and privacy regulations.

Absolutely. Each share link can have its own unique password. Recipients must enter the password before viewing. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt and never stored in plain text. You can change or remove the password at any time.

You get page-level engagement data: time spent per page, drop-off points, completion rate, unique vs total views, viewer location and device info, referral sources, and real-time presence tracking. Export all data to CSV for further analysis.

Watermarks are dynamically stamped on each page when a viewer opens your PDF. You can include viewer email, IP address, date, time, and custom text. Watermarks are rendered client-side and cannot be removed without leaving the viewer session.

No. Recipients just click your link and view the PDF in their browser. No sign-up required. You can optionally require email capture to identify viewers, but that's just entering their email — not creating an account.

Yes. You can disable any share link instantly from your dashboard. The link becomes invalid immediately, even if someone had it bookmarked. You can also archive entire documents to revoke all associated share links at once.

Free plan: 50 MB per file. Pro plan: 2 GB. Business plan: 20 GB. Files are compressed and optimized for fast viewing without sacrificing quality.

Yes. All files are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We use SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. Passwords are bcrypt hashed. Audit logs track every access event. We never share or sell your data.

That's one of the most common use cases. Sales teams use PdfWarden to track proposal engagement, see which sections clients focus on, identify when proposals are shared internally, and follow up at the right time based on viewing behavior.
