Microsoft Print to PDF silently fails (creates 0kb) if filename or path contains comma

Doesn't matter the original program you are printing from, if your filename or path contains a comma the Microsoft Print to PDF silently fails creating a 0kb corrupt file.

Microsoft rep (Lance Cai MSFT) acknowledged this 6/29/16 on this post yet still doesn't appear to be fixed.

Issue seen on multiple PC's & can be easily replicated per my guidance above. Machines tested had Win10 x64 v1607 and v1809

Similar post where 250 people confirmed they have the same issue & 46 people said @stan Gobien's
response to not include comma helped them
