Track who opens a PDF?

Hello, I need to provide PDFs to a client, and they need a simple method to track who
opens the PDF in case an employee sends the PDF outside the company. All they want is
the IP address of the user.

The client’s IT department won’t let us use PDF plug-ins.

Something as simple as a web beacon would be so nice!

Can anyone please suggest a solution to me???

Thanks!!!
