Jon, Thanks for your suggestion. I just tried UTF-8 and that did not work either. Besides, I would imagine, Adobe would mention such an important piece of information in the documentation. What;s interesting is that when using File Attachment Tool, Adobe Acrobat itself refuses to attach a Unicode-named file. There are no errors, the file just does not get attached.... I am starting to think that this is a bug in Acrobat.
