Frequently asked questions

How does ReadReceipt work?: Upload a PDF, get a unique tracking link, and share it. Before accessing the document, the reader enters their name, email, and company. You'll see when they opened it, how many pages they viewed, how long they spent, and whether they downloaded it.
Can I track when someone opens my document?: Yes. ReadReceipt lets you track when someone opens your document, how many pages they view, and how long they spend reading it.
Is this the same as Gmail read receipts?: No. Gmail read receipts only show whether an email was opened. ReadReceipt tracks the document itself — showing when someone opens your PDF and which pages they actually read.
Why use ReadReceipt instead of sending a normal PDF?: When you send a normal PDF by email you do not know if it was opened. ReadReceipt generates a secure tracking link so you can see when someone views your document and how they engage with it.
Will the recipient know they're being tracked?: Yes — recipients must tick a consent checkbox before accessing any document. ReadReceipt is more transparent than tools that track silently.
How do I get notified when someone opens my document?: You'll get an email the moment it's opened. You can also check your dashboard anytime for a full view of all engagement activity.
How is ReadReceipt different from DocSend?: DocSend starts at $15/month and is built for enterprise sales teams. ReadReceipt is built for solo founders and freelancers at £8/month — simple, fast, and without the enterprise complexity.

About ReadReceipt

ReadReceipt helps founders, consultants, and sales professionals track when their documents are opened. Upload a document, share a tracking link, and see who viewed it, when they opened it, and how they engaged with it.

ReadReceipt works in three steps: upload a PDF, copy the generated tracking link, and send it to your recipient. When the recipient opens the document, the sender is notified instantly. Pro users see page-by-page engagement data including time spent per page.
