The link.action viewhelper actually offers a pageType parameter:
<f:link.action action="card" format="pdf" pageType="203">Card
(PDF)</f:link.action>

If you do need to use additionalParams, I think the syntax is a json string
array, like additionalParams="{param1 : 'val1', param2 : 'val2'}"

I think there's also a way in TS to set the default format (ie pdf) based on
the pageType, so that whenever you use type=203 it will always pull .pdf
templates (if that's desired).  I think it's by adding "format = pdf" to the
config.

So if pagetype is your problem, hopefully that will help?
