Hi,
Is there a way of generating a dynamic front page to a pdf version of an article in OJS after each time it is downloaded that shows all relevant metadata for the article including the date and time it was downloaded and the number of times it has been downloaded so far?

I appreciate any help.

Many thanks
Adam

Hi @ah226,

You would need to do some server-side coding to accomplish this; something like Ghostscript could be used to graft statistics onto existing PDFs before delivering them to readers.
