How to create a rebrandable report as an affiliate ressource

There is a program called PDF Stamper that may suit your needs.
It puts an ID on the downloaded PDF as it downloads.
I have purchased it but not set it up yet but I got it do something similar to what you need.
I just had a look at their website and it seems very comprehensive.

Viral PDF works great, usually I include a 2 min video showing how to rebrand the report, then I compress the files on a zip, my affiliates download and use the tool.

Everyone is way behind the times. With my membership software I can put up a squeeze page giving away my viral report. My affiliates can connect to my squeeze page in less than five minutes.

Then they use their affiliate link to send people to the squeeze page. When the new subscriber downloads the report, it is already branded with the affiliates links and the new subscriber is added to the affiliate's autoresponder.

So the process is a copy/paste process where after the affiliate sets up and autoresponder he copy/pastes his autoresponder form code in the tools area and then copy and pastes the first follow up message in his autoresponder to give the download link to the free report.

If the affiliate wants to give away the report in some other fashion not using the squeeze page, when logged into the member's area, the affiliate can download the report and it will already be branded with the affiliate's name and links.

The system I use does almost all the work for the affiliate and allows the affiliate to build a list.

With your systems the affiliate has to do the branding and still has to come up with a way to give it away.
