Docmetrics 1.0

(September 14th, 2007 - 3:22PM)

Docmetrics 1.0 has been released!

Actually, it was released last month on August 15th, but I've been too lazy to post about it.

Docmetrics is a Web app for marketers who distribute PDFs. It tracks unique readers, document opens, prints, and much more. Think Google Analytics, but for PDFs.

In addition to tracking basic document usage, docmetrics also tracks depth of reader engagement. So we can tell how far people have delved into your documents and where they dropped off.

Docmetrics should help any PDF-oriented marketer gauge the success of their documents and campaigns.

Here are some screenshots of the application:

So what was my role in docmetrics? I was the requirements and user experience guy.

I'd appreciate it if you'd sign up for a docmetrics account and give me your feedback. Signup is free, and you'll get a $250 credit for doing so. This should last the average user about two months.

Overall, I'm happy with the UI. If you dig deep enough, you'll find some oddities in the UI that we couldn't fix due to time constraints. These will be fixed in future versions. If you have any feedback, suggestions, or comments I'd certainly appreciate it.

So please sign up for docmetrics!
