Hey Meyerbeck,

Acrobat DC allows you to insert any Links/Hyperlinks within PDF, but embedding Google Analytic link is something would not be possible.

If there's a way, then it must be using some Javascript/Coding. Sadly, we don't have expertise in that.

Lets wait to hear from other Community experts.

Thanks,

No. And even if you could, you can't guarantee that every PDF viewer would execute the link.

However, Adobe Embed API will let you display a PDF and collect very detailed information about the customer journey through the file.

See the article here. It references Adobe Analytics but you can hook up GA as well.
