Two very interesting things to look at. I know they're using PDFLib to
convert TIFF images to PDFs, so I'll check out the PDFLib documentation.

As the PDF is handled by an external application, I'm guessing that what
you are look for is pretty much impossible.

Although I have little experience with PDF's, I'm wondering if there is
a way you can embed some logic inside the PDF that will ping a web
service when the document is printed?

'course this depends on the PDF viewer processing the logic ... I
suspect some non-adobe apps might not.
