When I try to open a PDF file that I have created and saved, I'm getting an error box that says Explorer.exe The file name is too long. I cannot open, rename, delete or manipulate this file in any way. Is there a file length name limit on PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro. Thanks.

It's actually not a filename limit that is imposed by the operating system, but a path limit. Your path (that's all the directories plus your filename) can only be a certain length.
Take a look at this article, which describes a number of ways to get around this problem so that you can at least rename or delete the file:

The limit is of the OS, not of the application.
