Many thanks for your reply, Lukas.

I found another workaround at the ConTeXt file (b.tex).

  \cldcontext{string.gsub([[\env{PDFdocument}]], "\\\\", "/")}

I don’t know why I needed to add "\\\\" instead of "\\". (otherwise, I
kept getting "C://Users//username//Desktop//document.pdf" and similar ones).

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
