I'm currently building up our company's website, and have been asked whether it is possible for some information to be captured before a PDF (for example) is downloaded.

We don't want to have the overhead of having to create a user profile before being able to download files, since that would probably put people off!

Ideally, we would have a link which says something like "Click here to download the product datasheet", and clicking on that link would direct the user to a form which would ask for some small details (such as name, email, reason for interest in our product, etc.). Clicking on the 'Download' button would simultaneously email us the details (to the site email address), and trigger the download of the PDF. The fields in the form would not be compulsory, so it is Ok for a user just to click 'Download'.

Is there a module which exists to be able to do this, or should I start coding? If I need to start coding, where should I start?!

Thanks,

I haven't come across anything that lets you do this, but I'd be interested in the functionality.

I've also been asked if this is possible for the website I'm building - they dont want the overhead of users registering to access a secured area for downloads but like the idea of a pop-up form gathering a few details and those either being stored or the download file then being emailed.

Any help / ideas / advice appreciated
