Filename when dl PDF Blobs

Question

I have an APEX app that stores PDFs and RTF file in my DB as BLOBS. Users click on links and download these files. I use a DB procedure to build the http header for dl of the blob. (I think I got it from the APEX help section).
Everything works except for the file name of the PDF blobs. I still get the file but the file name is always the name of my DB schema.pdf. The filename var is set correctly in the DB, same datatype as the RTF file.
Same results if you left or right -> save target as click. RTF works. PDF works but odd filename.
As anyone heard of an issue like this? Thanks for any help.
Here are my two procedures:
PDF (filename problem is here)
create or replace PROCEDURE download_contractpdf(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
     -- Assuming your application's numeric ID is 122, set g_flow_id to
     -- that value, otherwise change the value as required.
     HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_FLOW_ID := 122;
     IF NOT wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.is_session_valid then
     -- display this message or a custom message.
     htp.p('Unauthorized access - file will not be retrieved.');
     -- You can do whatever else you need to here to log the
     -- unauthorized access attempt, get the requestor's
     -- IP address, send email, etc.
     RETURN;
     END IF;
SELECT 'application/pdf', PDFFILE, PDFFILENAME,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(PDFFILE)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM ES_GENERATION_Q_STAFFAUG
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the PDFFILENAME will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; PDFFILENAME="'||substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_contractpdf;
RTF (this works)
create or replace PROCEDURE download_contractrtf(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
     -- Assuming your application's numeric ID is 122, set g_flow_id to
     -- that value, otherwise change the value as required.
     HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_FLOW_ID := 122;
     IF NOT wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.is_session_valid then
     -- display this message or a custom message.
     htp.p('Unauthorized access - file will not be retrieved.');
     -- You can do whatever else you need to here to log the
     -- unauthorized access attempt, get the requestor's
     -- IP address, send email, etc.
     RETURN;
     END IF;
SELECT 'application/msword', RTFFILE, RTFFILENAME,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(RTFFILE)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM ES_GENERATION_Q_STAFFAUG
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_contractrtf;
