I am following @rochacbruno's pdf view example here 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/web2py/tWG-GBN-Re0/vbrZOknlBgAJ . The 
code is as follows below, it works brilliantly but I wanna know how I can 
have the pdf displayed or downloaded with a proper name which i select as 
opposed to this *( aaf5d3f7779841d0.**6e65775f64616c5f68656c702e7064*
*66.pdf ) * 
<http://127.0.0.1:8000/pdfs/static/pdfs/pdfs.file.aaf5d3f7779841d0.6e65775f64616c5f68656c702e706466.pdf>

*CODE*

*<model>*
*db.define_table('pdfs',*
*                       Field('file','upload',*
*uploadfolder=request.folder+'**static/pdfs')*
*                       )*
*</model>*

*Create a viewer function wich redirects the user direct to the file, then, 
if the user has adobe acrobat plugin to view the file in browser, this file 
will be shown in the browser, else, will be downloaded.*

*<controller>*
*def viewer():*
*    row = db(db.pdfs.id <http://db.pdfs.id>==request.args(0)*
*).select(db.pdfs.file).first()*
*    redirect(URL('static','pdfs',**args=row.file))*
*</controller>*

*Now you can call this as:*

*http://127.0.0.1:8000/pdfs/default/viewer/3 
<http://127.0.0.1:8000/pdfs/default/viewer/3> #record id*

*which redirects the user to:*

*http://127.0.0.1:8000/pdfs/static/pdfs/pdfs.file.aaf5d3f7779841d0.6e65775f64616c5f68656c702e706466.pdf
 
<http://127.0.0.1:8000/pdfs/static/pdfs/pdfs.file.aaf5d3f7779841d0.6e65775f64616c5f68656c702e706466.pdf>*
