As the PDF is handled by an external application, I'm guessing that what
you are look for is pretty much impossible.

Although I have little experience with PDF's, I'm wondering if there is
a way you can embed some logic inside the PDF that will ping a web
service when the document is printed?

'course this depends on the PDF viewer processing the logic ... I
suspect some non-adobe apps might not.
