What is MaiPDF ReadNotify?
MaiPDF's ReadNotify feature allows you to receive an email notification when a recipient opens the PDF document that you’ve shared as a link. This feature ensures that you are always informed when your document is being accessed, adding an extra layer of security and control.
By simply entering an email address during the PDF link generation process, MaiPDF will automatically send an email notification to that address whenever the PDF link is clicked and opened by someone else.
How Does ReadNotify Work?
When you generate a PDF link using MaiPDF, you will be prompted to input an email address. Once you've entered the email address and the recipient opens the PDF link, the system will send a notification to that email, informing you of the following details:
- When the link was accessed — Get the exact timestamp of when the document was opened.
- Who accessed the document — You will be informed of the device or IP address (depending on the security settings).
- Document access tracking — Gain insights into how and when your document is being accessed, helping you track its usage.
