The way I have handled the problem in the past is to create a servlet streaming out the pdf and then I have complete control over authorizations. I would set the mime types to the pdf and then browser will treat it properly.

However this doesnt seem to be happening even with >filters. Does the click on a pdf file not recognized as a request? Verify that the PDF is part of the webapp, and is being served by Tomcat. Also verify that the "web.xml" file specifies that the filter should be processing requests for the ".pdf" suffix. Often filters are configured to only process requests routed to servlets or JSP's.
