    I would like to track how many people open a pdf in their browser, ie a pdf (saved in my media library) which I link to directly, and opens in a new tab in the browser. They might print it directly from here, rather that clicking Download.

    Can I see the number of time the pdf has been opened/viewed in the browser? does this count as ‘downloading’, even though it is a separate action to actually download the pdf the save it on you computer.

    Can I see this tracking count with the free version of Monster Insights?

    Many thanks

    It will not track direct accesses (since you can’t run Javascript on a direct access).

    The tracking count can be found in analytics.google.com->Behavior->Top Events for the Lite version
