Have you tried to download the PDF file then open your choice of PDF application to see if it works? If not then it won't work in another way at all, but if it works then it's strange. Try to run Epiphany from terminal app for you can see error. Also, check in ~/.xsession-error for any error. I am able to click on link of PDF file then it opens Evince and display fine.
