This isn't a pdf(la)tex-specific thing.

What happens here is \chapter makes a call to set the current page's 
pagestyle to plain.

You need to redefine the plain pagestyle to be ``empty'' or \chapter to 
call the empty pagestyle and it'll ``just work'' (and you can eliminate 
your manual calls to \thispagestyle{empty}.

Probably how to do this is in the FAQ or your documentation or you 
could check the source to latex2e. The manual for Peter Wilson's Memoir 
class has specifics on this --- can't recall if the method shown there 
is specific to his system or no though.
