DocBeacon

Can I see who opened my document and how long they viewed it?

Yes. DocBeacon shows who opened your document, when they viewed it, total reading time, and time spent on each page. You can also see repeat visits and overall engagement patterns.

Can I prevent viewers from downloading or printing my document?

Yes. With a view-only link, viewers can open the document in their browser without downloading or printing it. You can also add viewer-specific watermarks to discourage unauthorized sharing.

Do you support password-protected or expiring links?

Yes. You can protect links with passwords and set custom expiration dates. Once a link expires, the document can no longer be accessed through that URL.

Does DocBeacon offer page-level analytics and section-level heatmaps?

Yes. DocBeacon combines page-level analytics with section-level heatmaps, so you can understand both overall page performance and where readers focus within each page.

Can I track engagement for individual contacts?

Yes. You can create unique links for individual contacts and track engagement by contact, including views, time spent, repeat visits, and activity across documents.

How is DocBeacon different from DocSend or other document tracking tools?

DocBeacon combines secure document sharing with deeper engagement visibility, including contact-level tracking, heatmaps, and page-level analytics. It is built for teams that want more insight into how documents are read after sending.

How does DocBeacon keep my documents secure?

DocBeacon protects documents with encryption in transit and at rest, along with controls such as passwords, link expiration, view-only access, and viewer-specific watermarks. These features help teams share sensitive documents with more control.
