I upload files and the field will contain the filename and the path,  
actually contains a link to the file. I think this is correct, isn´t it?

Thanks Bernd and Peter. Finally, I have slightly modify sk_pdfviewer  
to get the pdf name, I have added another variable, abs_path, to know  
if the path to the file is relative to uploads/tx_skpdfviewer/ or is  
an absolute one. Maybe is a good idea to "officially" modify the  
extension.

Again, thanks a lot
