As far as I'm concerned, the link text is descriptive? To me, that's a case of "ambiguous to everybody" ... no user is informed that it's a PDF that this links to. As a best practice, sure, give some hint about what you're linking to - if it's something other than another web page. But I'd say this would not fail 2.4.4. P -- Patrick H.
