When I click a PDF link in Google search, in the Google Chromium web browser, it does not display the URL of the PDF in the address bar - it just downloads the PDF.
Often, the green URL displayed below the result in Google Search is truncated in the middle (middle characters are replaced with an ellipsis) for space reasons.
Right-clicking on the main blue link in the Google search result and choosing Copy Link Address results in a Google tracking URL, not the actual URL.
How can I get the full URL?
though a pdf can take a while to load in a browser, and one may prefer to download it, and if chrome insists on open it, then one may want to download it in another way e.g. wget – barlop – 2014-07-01T13:59:25.463
the same question we have over at Stackexchange if you wish to see some other comments/answers.
