I've had a similar problem, though I think you're maybe a little bit more advanced than me so this might not help.

When editing your article (the one that you want your link in) look to the right and you'll see "related objects" on the side bar. Click the little magnifying glass and find your object (the pdf file you want to link to), check the box and click select.

You should then be taken back to your article, but now you have your object in the related objects box. Either right click, copy and paste the link (remember to take the "admin" or such like part out of it after you paste!) or use the the object ID to create the link.

I prefer to use the link method, because I'm more familiar with it but the choice is up to you :)

Well I can't help you with the overide templates (like I said you're more advanced than me!) but with the link bit, yeah sorry about that I forgot to add that you have to follow the link it gives you and then copy and paste the link you find to the object.

You should end up with something along the line of http://192.168.0.1/news/content/download/76/204/file/FM.pdf
unless I've already forgotten how to do it ;)

(seriously though if that doesn't work, I laid out the exact procedure in a post last week right after I'd figured it out.)

This code works for me now (to directly download the related node with pdf-file):

<img src={"ikon_acrobat.gif"|ezimage} width="19" height="9" border="0" /> <a class="normal2" href={concat("content/download/",$object.data_map.fil.contentobject_id,"/",$object.data_map.fil.content.contentobject_attribute_id,"/file/",$object.data_map.fil.original_filename)|ezurl}>{$object.name|wash}{*$object.data_map.fil.content.original_filename|wash(xhtml)*}</a> <span class="normal2">({$object.data_map.fil.content.filesize|si(byte)})</span><br />
