John,
This sounds a little like the problem I am having. I have a PDF file in "My
Documents" and the name is extremly long. Adobe Reader says the name is
invalid. I am not able to to anything with it. Open. delete, rename. I
suspect that the combined name and path exceed the limit by a long way. I'm
not sure how to get to the path to rename or reduce. Any help would be
appreciated.
