Might want to read Textpattern.com Weblog / Tag parser – part 1: new features. Use single quotes ' if you want the attribute be parsed.
<txp:file_download form="files" id='<txp:custom_field name="document" />' />Offline
Re: Use number in custom field for file download id
Thanks I’ll check it out, I have came across a solution to this using PHP,
from this article,
I outputted the form below which includes a PHP snippet,
the article is very thorough and explained clearly.
<txp:output_form form="download id" />
<txp:php>
$a = custom_field (array ('name' => 'document'));
echo file_download(array(
'id' => $a,
));
</txp:php>

Re: Use number in custom field for file download id
That article is out of date. The raw PHP solution still works, but using tags within tags as you tried initially, with Jukka’s correction, does exactly the same thing and in the true “Textpattern way”, much more elegant. Try it…
Code is topiary
