In this video tutorial, the focus is on tracking PDF opens or views to log document use. To protect a document, you need to locate it in Windows Explorer, right-click on the PDF, and select "Make Secure PDF." In the writer window, go to the expiry and validity tab and choose "Each time the document is opened" in the verified document access area. Then, in the printing and viewing area, under the viewing section, select "Log Document Views." Click "Publish" to confirm the protection status. The protection status window will appear, confirming the successful protection. The newly protected document will be displayed with a .pdc extension in the folder, signifying it as a protected PDF. To open the protected PDF, you need to use the Lock Lizard PDF viewer. Double-clicking on the file will open the Safeguard Secure Viewer and load the document. By closing and reopening the document, you can get a count of the views.
