Generate, track, sign
PDFs with one API.
Each recipient gets a personal link. Every open, page read, comment and signature streams into your app or agent.
EU-hosted, GDPR-native Free plan, no card

One link per recipient, every event comes back named.
Generate a tokenized link per recipient. Every event downstream is already identified — no logins, no exports, no dashboards in the way.
{ "name": "Alex Rivera", "email": "alex@example.com" }
{ "token": "fi6WgjyH", "name": "Alex Rivera", "email": "alex@example.com", "url": "https://docs.apdf.io/acme/68052-a7bc5?v=fi6WgjyH", "is_active": true, "created_at": "2026-05-08T09:00:00Z" }
Send a link to a viewer that streams every interaction back.
Your recipient opens the PDF in our hosted viewer — no install, no setup, just a link. They read, fill forms, and annotate. Our viewer, not your lock-in.
Is the price locked for 12 months?
Replaces the attachment.
No 25 MB ceiling, no spam-filter roulette. Revoke a recipient’s access at any time — even after the link has been forwarded.
Replaces the dashboard.
No additional dashboards to log in or to refresh. Events land in your CRM, or your agent the moment they happen — in time to act before they move on.
You own the signal.
We host the surface.
What you actually get back.
Every reader interaction lands in your stream as a typed event. Below, the ones worth acting on — each in a JSON shape your code already speaks.
{ "session": { "id": "0lLKvtyoC1nl3WD0", "recipient": { "name": "Alex Rivera", "email": "alex@example.com" } }, "metrics": { "total_duration_ms": 89364, "pages_viewed": 8, "completion_pct": 67, "downloads": 0, "prints": 1 }, "pages": [ { "page": 4, "duration_ms": 47100 }, { "page": 5, "duration_ms": 22300 }, { "page": 7, "duration_ms": 12500 } ], "events": [ { "event": "annotation:create", "page": 4, "payload": { "comment": "Is the price locked for 12 months?" } } ] }
Document opened
First proof of life. They engaged at all.
Page read
Where attention actually lives. Find the strong sections, spot the boring ones.
Link clicked
The clearest "tell me more" signal — they pulled on a specific thread.
Form submitted
Structured intent — names, answers, choices, captured field by field.
Annotation created
Questions and pushback in writing — the highest-engagement signal you can get.
Signature completed
Every signer has signed. The sealed PDF is on its way and your webhook already fired.
And more events. See all on the analytics page.
From form fill to next step.
Field reports, contracts, customer intake — each submission delivers every field as structured data to your endpoint, ready to update a CRM record, ping a team channel, or push the project to its next stage.
Need to confirm pricing for the additional seats before signing. Can we hop on a call this week?

Signed in the same link
they already read.
Every party signs their own part, confirmed with a code sent to their email. When the last one signs, everyone gets the sealed PDF back with an audit trail.
Your team and your company can sign too. See how on the e-signature page.
Turn any event into an action.
Compose any combination of events as the trigger, narrow with filters, and wire the result to your endpoint. No glue code, no separate tool to learn.

Then
Give your agents eyes.
Connect Apdf over MCP. Your agent sees every reader signal, reads the context, and acts on it — autonomously. It can ask for a signature; only people sign.

Build, wire, or hand it off.
From embedded inside your app to fully autonomous.
Three ways to put Apdf to work.
Embed in your product
A user of your app sends a contract. You see who opened it, where they paused, and get the signed PDF back. Hosted viewer, personal links, JSON API.
Wire it into your stack
A quote is opened again — HubSpot gets a task, the rep a Slack ping. Webhooks on every event; rules run inside Apdf or in your own tools.
Let an agent close the loop
Connect over MCP. Attention drops on page 4 — your agent reads the context, drafts the follow-up and asks for the signature. People sign.
GDPR-native by default. Your data never leaves the EU.
Your PDFs and reader events stay yours. Period.
First-class agent support, not a retrofitted add-on.
No vendor lock-in. Open API, your data on demand.
