I was wondering if there is a way to have a registration form be triggered when someone tries to download or access a document library

Question

I have a document library, where I need to have people register their company  info prior to downloading the document(s).
I would actually probably like for them to register before they can see or even access the document library items.
basically I need some type of tracking of the download... I need to have the person fill out a form prior to being able to download the info in the document library
is there a way to trigger this?
hopefully their is something simple ....

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to trace the document download in document library.
In OOB way, we can use the audit log to trace the document download.
Navigate to Document Library-->Library Settings-->Information management policy settings-->Select the Document Content Type-->Enable auditing checkbox and specify the events downloading.
Then we can use the audit log to see the counts.

What’s more, we can also use the Google Analytics to achieve it.
