windows 10 - Cannot rename a file with name too long (no 8+3 name)

I copied some directories from a now-defunct Mac laptop. I am trying to open one of the files (a PDF), but Acrobat won't open it because the name is too long.


I am trying to rename the file to a shorter name, but I cannot. Explorer won't let me, again, because of the long name.


I tried renaming it in cmd.exe using the 8+3 name, but none of the files from Mac have 8+3 names. That means that there is no way to rename it using the short name.


What else I can do?
