Asterisk is not a valid file name.  Asterisks are valid only in filters

If you could view "www.site.com/pdf/" then httrack could get all files in that
directory. Since that directory is protected, you'll have to mirror the site.

Mirror the site.  Uncheck options -> Links -> Get non-HTML and add a filter
+*.pdf
