How to Track PDF file with Google Analytics?
To track any PDF file on your website, simply follow the steps below and you’ll be well on your way. It gets a bit technical from here on out, so roll up your sleeves:
1. First find a page that links to one of your PDF files.
2. Find where the PDF file is on the page – look for the anchor (<a>) tag. It should look something like this:
<a href="files/quarterly-earnings.pdf" target="_blank">Quarterly Earnings Report</a>
3. Insert the following “onClick” event within this anchor tag. It should look like this:
<a href="files/quarterly-earnings.pdf" target="_blank" onClick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/files/quarterly-earnings.pdf');">Quarterly Earnings Report</a>
4. Upload the page and enjoy the results! You should see the number of times that your PDF file was accessed within the Content >> Top Content section of your Google Analytics profile.
