ASP, PDF Files, and book marks.

[Kent Hendrix]

I have some PDF files that I want to share with the members of my martial
arts group.
I would like very much to track who is looking at what. I can do that
easily, the
first time, but I don't know how to prevent people from bookmaking the PDF
file, and
bypassing the logging on subsequent returns to my site to view that
document.

Is there any way to force people to navigate through my web site to get to
PDF documents?

Thanks a lot

You could serve the PDFs dynamically - meaning, don't put them in your file
system where everyone could navigate and view them.

Instead you could have an ASP page that asks for a password, writes
something to the session object and than "calls" itself. If people would
bookmark the ASP page, they will always get to the first part of the ASP.
Of course, you could use the same technique without asking for a password.

Regards, Oren.
