Looks like an issue with the filename and unicode @pbienst What charset are you using and can you give examples of the filename? What is your locale?

As I mentioned in my report, the filename is simply "a.pdf"...
Here is the pdf: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfoisx2bw651l08/a.pdf?dl=0

the file isn't there anymore and I can't test.... @pbienst
