Excel 218 character path limit workaround

I made an Excel application that generates pdf's. Now I ran into problems with long path names since the generated pdf's are to be stored further down in the folder hierarchy.

I tried to generate the pdf to a temporary folder higher up in the hierarchy and then move them but Excel saw through that and refused.

I'm trying to figure out a reasonably simple workaround. Wouldn't it be possible to make a really simple piece of code in some other language that can move the file and then call that from VBA?

Well, the pdf's are expected to go in a specific folder in a hierarchy created for each project. I did some more googling and the consensus is that long path strings is a universally bad thing.
It is now clear that our folder hierarchy name system needs a workover, some people have been vary generous with the number of characters for some folders and project names.
Once this is corrected the 218 character limit won't be an issue.

Not sure what to make of that. What I can understand from other sources is that if you have windows10 and office 64 bit the path length is no longer an issue. Comments?
However, with windows10 and office 32 bit the issue is not solved. Comments?

My questions were more generic, not specifically related to your previous post.
