Not a direct way but you could try this -
Append the URL of the web hosted PDF file to Google Docs Viewer service - https://docs.google.com/viewer?url={https://somesite.com/report.PDF}
After that file is opened within the browser, click the "Save to Drive" icon (as shown in the screenshot) in the header of Google Docs Viewer to save it to your Google Drive.
Rather than type the Google Docs Viewer URL every time, you can re-purpose the Chrome custom search engine configuration option to invoke the Google Docs Viewer URL with an assigned keyword like "V". Once configured (see detailed steps) you can type V in the Chrome address bar, hit tab, paste the URL of the report
