Hate being tricked into clicking on a link that is a document? Link Alert fills a gap that web developers should be doing; give you insight into the type of link you're about to click on. Link Alert changes your cursor depending on what kind of link you're hovering over; Words, Excel, PDF, email, and so on.
Alternatively you can also useTarget Alert. It places appropriate icons next to all the downloads or links on a page as soon as the page is fully loaded, as opposed to finding out when mouse-hover over the link.
It's important to point out that there is limitation associated to Link Alert. This plugin is very depending on the extension of the given links. So, should links to PDFs are in the form of http://www.abc.com/23442323/ they will not be tagged. Anyway, it's a brilliant piece of plugin.
