If you put a link to the attachment, then the attachment permissions should carry though to the user who tries to download the pdf. For instance...

1) You upload a pdf file, my.pdf, in forum 1. All users may download pdf attachments in forum 1. You put a link to the pdf file in a thread in forum 2. Not all users have permission to download pdf files in forum 2. However, all users should still be able to click on the my.pdf file and download it because it was originally uploaded in forum 1 where all users have permission to download it.

2) You upload a pdf file, my2.pdf, in your Staff forum where only Staff may view threads and download files. You then put a link to my2.pdf in forum 1 where all users may download pdf files. No users, except Staff, should be able to download that file because they don't have permissions in the original thread the file was uploaded into.
