Your plan is good. But people can still email around the PDF, making
the tracking of it difficult.

I was just attaching the white paper PDF to the e-mail, but I'm
concerned that is not the best practice. Spam filters might strip
off the attachment.
So, maybe it would be better to put a link in the e-mail that let's
them download the file. But, I don't want the link passed around,
so I need to make sure they can only download it one time.
What's the best way to accomplish something like this?
I thought about adding a URL parameter to the download link, and
then keeping track to see if the file had already been downloaded.
I think I should also use <cfcontent> to serve up the file, and I
can then put the file in a directory that is not web accessible.
Is this a good plan? Anything I am missing?
Oh yea, I'm on a shared host running CF7. I'll upgrade to CF8 soon,
but I need to make this work using CF7.
Thanks for listening!
