This should work: 

$id = $this->getCurrentCategory()->getId();

$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getCode()->getId())->load($id);
echo $category->getData('catalog_pdf');
//or
echo $category->getCatalogPdf();

Edited to include missing get

This should work. If you are int the product list then you should have the current category in

Mage::registry('current_category');

So do like this:

$category = Mage::registry('current_category');
if ($category){ //this is necessary in case you are in a product listing that is's not a category
   $value = $category->getData('catalog_pdf');//catalog_pdf is the attribute code
   //or
   //$value = $category->getCatalogPdf();
}
