Just recently suffered through a test of a site that does this. All the participants who clicked it thought that they were going to get the .pdf by doing so. (i.e. the actual .pdf, not the Acrobat plug-in). Then it got horrible. So what to do? I have to admit that it wasn't a well-designed site or a well-designed link, so your mileage may vary. I pretty much hated it by the end of the tests and longed to eliminate it.
