cfhtmltopdf fails to write if filename contains special characters

It works in the case of filewrite and cfdocument

Repro case:
<cfscript>
  fileWrite(expandPath("./myfilé1.txt"), "my file");//creates file (good)
  cfdocument(format="pdf", filename=expandPath('./myfilé2.pdf'), overwrite=true) {writeOutput("my file");}//creates file (good)
  cfhtmltopdf(destination=expandPath('./myfilé3.pdf'), overwrite=true) {writeOutput("my file");}//throws coldfusion.document.webkit.PDFgErrorHandler$ServiceManagerConversionException (bad)
</cfscript>

The issue was that If the PDFG ServiceManager was local than the destiantion file was written by HTML2PDFConverter whcih was not able to write it if the filename contained special characters. Now the destination file is not passed to HTML2PDFConverter but it written by CF.
