For many, many years now, I have avoided using a comma in directory and file
names for just this kind of problem - and not just with FrameMaker or Acrobat,
by the way.
And, in early releases of Windows, with applications that had not yet migrated
away from DOS 8.3 naming conventions, even a space (or too long a name) was
often an issue.
Today, however, spaces work for most everything except for some really old
applications (some still think that C:\ root directory is a good place to
write stuff! In Windows 7 and 8, the disk root cannot be used for files if you
are not the Administrator user).
Now, I use a space or an underscore for directory and file name separators ...
that you are using a comma for. The underscore is best for Unix systems and
many Windows apps too (otherwise you have to enclose the file or directory name
in quotes), so it has become a habit for me too.
Also, a period . is best used sparingly in Windows file names as a separator,
since the concept of a file extension to recognize the file content (this is
not an issue for Unix) can cause problems with some applications too.

Subject: Save as PDF not working for particular directory
This morning I discovered the following:
Acrobat 11 does not allow to have directory names containing a comma. This was
not a problem with Acrobat 9.5.xx
Situation:
Using FM-12.0.3.424 to save as PDF works well except for files in a praticular
directory: D:\Private\Haus+hof\Entsorg,ERZ\Entsorgung_2015.fm creates an empty
TPS which creates the Distiller Message [ Warning: Empty job. No PDF file
produced.].
I was fiddling around, e.g. save as MIF, then open the MIF and Save as PDF from
the MIF (no effect); multiple times restarted FM and even W7-x64 (no effect);
saving the PDF to another directory (worked).
Then suddenly had the idea with the directory name. After changing the
directory name to Entsorgung+ERZ (no comma, but +) everything is fine again...
IMHO this is a bug, as on windows a comma is allowed in directory names.
