whats the best way to track a pdf

[paulFromWales]

Hi

i will be adding the Google Analytics soon to track my products but i also want to see many people are viewing/downloading pdf i am putting on site. I have a page called downloads and i just set a link to a pdf which i ftp over to a folder. So what i want to know is this arent pages i can put code on to track so can anyone recommend a way i can track these pdf's?

Don't your webstats give you download figures? Most do in my experience.

You can also track these with google analytics as well.

<a href="mydoc.pdf" onclick="urchinTracker('mydoc.pdf');">Download PDF</a>

Just make sure you have analytics installed on that page.
