You could try "browserDocumentLoadBegin" or "browserNavigateBegin" which would give you the URL 
that was clicked. But most browsers now download or display the PDF automatically when a PDF 
link is clicked. Firefox opens the PDF in a new window, and I think Safari downloads it. Not 
sure about Windows.

If this is for mobile, the URL might be enough information. BTW, I tried to use these messages 
a very long time ago and they were not sent, but hopefully that's been fixed by now.
