What i would do.
Create a general page that can stream PDF's to users.
Link the user directly to this page.
In the beginning of the page, you can do whatever processing you need.
You can also stream the pdf to the user.
That way, if they right click and Save Target As, they will still recieve
the pdf, and you can log what you want.
If you wanting to do this on the same page, i can't see it working without
JavaScript which is causing your problems
HTH and Good Luck
