How do I add a file download within a Page List element?

Permalink
I'll outline what I'm trying to do...

I'm constructing a kind of Product Catalog by creating a page for each product, aliasing these product pages as sub-pages within the sitemap, then listing them on a 'category page' using a Page List block (actually the Sollos Page List Add-on).

It all works beautifully, but on each product page, there is a PDF datasheet download. Now if this was just a regular content block etc. I could simply add a link to the file, but because I'm working with a Page List (which is essentially a reference to the page) I don't know how to pull the file download over.

The sticking point is that my client doesn't want a click-thru to another page. He just wants the download to be accessible from this 'Category' page.

I'm trying to get my head around Custom Page Attributes, but not being a PHP whizz, I'm getting stuck. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I've added an Image/File attribute so I can choose this from within the Custom Attributes in the Page Properties, but haven't a clue how to get this to appear.

My site is currently under construction.

An example product page is here:http://176.32.230.3/mgwelding.co.uk/index.php?cID=189...
(These pages are hidden from the Nav)

And then an example Page List page is here:
http://176.32.230.3/mgwelding.co.uk/products-and-services/positione...

I need to pull in the PDF download link into the page list item. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I've actually solved this now by adding HTML into the page description, which to my surprise works perfectly!
