Lead Capture for PDFs

Turn any PDF into a lead-capturing link that tells you who is reading.

FlipLink hosts your PDF as a branded link with an optional form gate, so every view becomes a captured lead. See who opened it, which pages they read, and how long they spent — then sync the contacts straight to your CRM. No separate landing page required.

The PDF lead-capture tool used by marketers, B2B sales teams, agencies, consultants, and course creators

What you can gate for lead capture

Any PDF becomes a hosted, form-gated, tracked link — no landing-page builder, no developer.

Whitepapers and ebooks

Gate a whitepaper or ebook behind a name-and-email form. Every download becomes a qualified lead, and you see which sections each reader actually finished.

Reports, guides, and lead magnets

Offer a report or pricing guide as a branded link. Capture the contact before access, then watch per-page engagement to know who is sales-ready.

Proposals and sales decks

Send a tracked proposal that captures the recipient and logs every open. See which pages stakeholders revisit — and follow up at the right moment.

FlipLink lead capture vs email PDF vs landing-page + PDF

Most teams either email the PDF (and capture nothing) or build a separate landing page to gate it. Here is what changes with a single tracked link.

Three steps from PDF to lead engine

1

Upload your PDF

Drag in your whitepaper, ebook, report, or proposal — no re-design required. FlipLink processes it in seconds and keeps your layout intact.

2

Turn on the form gate

Enable Lead Capture and choose which fields to require. Add your logo, brand colors, and custom domain so the gate looks like your brand.

3

Share and capture

Send the link, embed it, or post it. Every viewer fills the form first; the lead syncs to your CRM and you watch per-page engagement roll in.

Free trial. One price, forever.

Lead Capture is included in every FlipLink plan, from the trial to the lifetime deal. The lifetime deal unlocks 100 active documents for a single one-time payment of $129.

Common questions about PDF lead capture

What is lead capture for PDFs?+

Lead capture for PDFs means gating a document behind a short form so that anyone who wants to read it first enters their name and email. With FlipLink, you upload the PDF, turn on the form gate, and share one link — every viewer becomes a captured lead, and you see which pages they read after they sign in.

Do I need a separate landing page?+

No. The form gate is built into the document link, so you do not need a landing-page builder or a developer. The single FlipLink link handles the gate, the branded reading experience, the analytics, and the CRM sync — all in one place.

Where do the captured leads go?+

Captured leads appear in your FlipLink dashboard and can sync to your CRM or email tool. Each lead is tied to engagement data — which pages they read and how long they spent — so your sales team can prioritise the most engaged contacts.

Can I choose which fields to require?+

Yes. You decide what the form asks for — name, email, company, or custom fields. Keep it short to maximise conversions, or add qualifying fields when you want higher-intent leads.

Can I host the gated document at my own domain?+

Yes — FlipLink supports unlimited custom domains. Publish the gated document at a subdomain of your own brand so the entire experience, from the form to the reader, stays on your domain rather than a FlipLink subdomain.

Does lead capture work with the page-flip reading view?+

Yes. Once a viewer completes the form, they get the full FlipLink experience — a real 3D page-flip view, search, and a table of contents — and every page they read is tracked against their captured lead record.

Your PDF, now a lead engine.

Upload a PDF, turn on the form gate, and share one branded link. Capture every reader as a lead and see exactly what they read. From upload to share in under a minute.
