Error (50::0)

How do I solve this??

 

"After Effects error: The file path to this PDF document exceeds 260 characters and cannot be used. Move the file to a location with a shorter path."

 

I am unable to do this move as these are source files from client...

I ended up finding it was two .ai files that were so far into the folder chain that the filename was over 260 characters... so as soon as I moved them up a folder all good. AE didn't make it easy to troubleshoot nor to let me know which files were the culprit...

Impossible to know without exact file names and paths as well as the contents of the PDF. As a matter of fact it's more likely that this is some special character or excessively long object name inside the PDF itself or a cross-platform issue with special characters.

The thing is... no PDF exists in the folders.
