Ask a sharepoint read only download user to confirm they have downloaded the latest version of the document in a document library

Hi Expert,
I have a challange.
My current sharepoint site consists of one administrator, one contributor and multiple read only download users.
The contributor updates the document library with updated pdf documents.  
The multiple read only users receive an email alerting them that the document/s have been updated.  The user should then log in and download the updated files.
The management would like a receipt that the read only download users have downloaded the latest files.  What would be the best way to initiate this and to log the results in a database which could be reported on .

Thanks in advance.

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Scratched my head a little when reading this.

Wondering about why you dont just enable OOTB audit functions and record the reading of documents this way?

Otherwise you're looking at coded custom solution I suspect.
