What should I do in Windows 10 if the PDF file name is too long and the Windows options don’t give me the possibility to rename it?

Attempt to open the file. Use 'Save As' to save it with a shorter name once it has opened.
If the file does not open after double-clicking it, choose 'Edit with Adobe' if you are using Adobe. Then you may use method 1 to save it with a new, shorter name or method 2 to save it with a new, longer name.
or Open a registry editor (regedit.exe)
HKEY LOCAL MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlFileSystem is the location to look for.
LongPathsEnabled should be double-clicked.
Set the value to 1 and click OK.
Reboot.
