We found that the only approach that works is if the encoding in the file
name is the same as for the current (OS / Acrobat) language. Anything
else may not work. Try to embed a file on an English system/Acrobat that
has an Umlaut in its file name, and it won't work...

The only strategy that gives reliable results - i.e. across arbitrary
machines/languages - is to use only plain ASCII characters between 32 and
127 in file names when these need be used in file references inside a PDF
(BTW - same applies for the whole path).
