Doc Metrics Blends Flash and PDFs to Provide Analytics for PDFS.
You can put flash forms into your PDF and get information about how each reader is using your pdf (how long, what they’ve read, if they’ve printed it, and much more). It can be as low as 99 a month. That was the one thing I did NOT like about the service is there is no pricing sheet. You HAVE to sign up to get that information. You can see it at . http://www.docmetrics.com/
Viral PDF Tool
If you have affiliates you may want to look into this tool. It allows you to make brandable ebooks in pdfs. You put some code into your word document, and later the viral pdf tools replace those tools with the affiliate links. So an affiliate opens the branding tool, point it at the pdf, enter their information into the prompts and “poof” the same ebook now has their affiliate links in the pdf.
This could be very useful if you have an ebook that is a teaser for a product. Your affiliate can promote the book with this free ebook (that contains their links). You can provide the rebranding tool to all your affiliates. It’s only $37 in July 08. Check it out at viralpdf.com
