At work someone asked if there’s a way to track PDF downloads via Google Analytics. First I was unsure but soon learned that google analytics does track PDF downloads. Google is awesome for offering these tools for free. Anyway, below is the URL to google’s Event Tracking Guide. It took me a while to understand how to set everything up. Once I confirm it works I will post the steps I took but in the meantime check out their guide:
