Pretty sure you don't open the PDF in a reader - in fact it looks like there is no "resulting PDF". Instead the PDF is hosted on the site, which you link to, and the analytics are run on the page.

At which point, why even bother with the PDF... just host your content on any web site, and run Google Analytics.
