You can do this if you're using Google Analytics by adding a bit of javascript code to the link to the document, for example:

<a href="http://www.example.com/files/map.pdf" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/map'); ">

More info can be found here:

Of course it won't be 100% accurate (but it will be close) since users can disable JavaScript (but then again that will break Google Analytics altogether)

If you want something that's 100% accurate the only way would be a solution that used the raw log files from the web server.

One extreme would be to write a custom ASHX handler that can then be used to retrieve media nodes given their ID. You could then do your logging inside that handler.

These solutions sound good, but just as friendly reminder this question is not in the correct section of the forum.
