Downloads from your own server
A PDF that people download straight from your own server (not through the tracked GhostStat link) only shows up in your server's access log. Send that log here and those downloads count too. The log is read once and thrown away: only the counts are kept, visitors' addresses are never stored.
Which files count
Tracked URLs on your own domain count automatically. For an uploaded document that is also on your server, add the path it has there.

Upload an access log
Send it automatically
Let your server send yesterday's log every night: create an import key, then add the command below to your server's crontab (after the log rotates).
Send whole days (a rotated log): every day in the file is counted again from scratch, so sending the same log twice gives the same numbers, but half a day gives half a day. Downloads that came through the tracked GhostStat link are not counted twice. HEAD requests, errors and known bots are left out. At most 24 imports an hour.

Searched in the document
Give every recipient their own link, so you can see who read what. A link can expire, need a password, block download or print and show a watermark.

Addresses are typed by the readers and not verified. They are deleted with the document.
Watermarks and blocked download or print make copying harder, not impossible: anything a person can read on a screen can be captured.
