One method of tracking changes is to submit the users name/datetime to a database via a form submittal - Is this a voluntary or required step ?? This submittal would insert a new record into the database yet not be enabled with an update function, protecting the previous entries. This will also require an automated query when the PDF document opens to load the tracking log from the database... This is very doable using the FDFtoolkit. What platform/OS are you using ?
