The following did not work.
wget -r -A .pdf home_page_url
It stop with the following message:
....
Removing site.com/index.html.tmp since it should be rejected.
FINISHED
I don't know why it only stops in the starting url, do not go into the links in it to search for the given file type.
Any other way to recursively download all pdf files in an website. ?

In order to download multiples files using Wget, you need to create a . txt file and insert the URLs of the files you wish to download. After inserting the URLs inside the file, use the wget command with the -i option followed by the name of the . txt file containing the URLs.
The wget tool is essentially a spider that scrapes / leeches web pages but some web hosts may block these spiders with the robots. txt files. Also, wget will not follow links on web pages that use the rel=nofollow attribute. You can however force wget to ignore the robots.
The default is to retry 20 times, with the exception of fatal errors like “connection refused” or “not found” (404), which are not retried.
Wget is the non-interactive network downloader which is used to download files from the server even when the user has not logged on to the system and it can work in the background without hindering the current process.
It may be based on a robots.txt. Try adding -e robots=off.
Other possible problems are cookie based authentication or agent rejection for wget. See these examples.
EDIT: The dot in ".pdf" is wrong according to sunsite.univie.ac.at
