As soon as the visitor clicks the link it's going to be downloaded,
whether it automatically opens with a pdf reader or not. There's no
difference in the number of downloads here, so there is no limiting
involved.

If the customer really wants to limit the number of downloads, require
user registration before they even see a link to the file. That will
discourage arbitrary downloads by casual surfers.
