Paypal redirect

I want to sell an electronic document online, but I have one slight problem.

Say you visit my site and you purchase the document I am selling. When you have paid for this document Paypal usually redirect you to the main site (the site that sold you on the document). But I want Paypal to redirect every buyer to the electronic document directly.

The document is hosted on the FTP server so people will need to be redirected there directly after their payment has been made.

Anyone have experience in doing this kind of setup? Anyone who can teach me how to this myself?

You should be able to set the page you want to redirect to, when you create the payment link in paypal.

Just create a page that has a link on it to your pdf document, or even better create a page with a signup for an autoresponder and then when they signup, send them the link to download the pdf.

Make sure this signup page doesn't get indexed in Google (add meta noindex, nofollow tags).

Thanks. I have a password requirement. So people need to type in a password to reach the document everytime.

I used the Adobe Pro software to prohibit Google to index the pdf file.

Just one question. When typing in this redirect link in the Paypal code, I should use non-encrypted code, right? I am using encrypted code right now.

Is there a good autoresponder you would recommend me looking at? An autoresponder is the best choice so that everything can work smoothly without me.

Thanks in advance.

You could try my digital dispatch, but that works only with paypal, once the customer pays you, the electronic document is sent to the customers paypal email address instantly. There are other better ones out there as well, ill research them for you.
