Thanks for the tips, I'll pass them on. Putting tracking code in PDFs makes me feel more than a little uncomfortable.
Adobe and Nitro do support javascript in their PDFs to support programmable workflows including form automation. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html and http://www.nitropdf.com/help/pdf_javascript.htm Apparently it does support SOAP & web services, but I can't say if the environment is enough like a browser's one to permit standard tracking code to operate and feel disinclined to experiment.
