Many thanks for your reply, Lukas.
I found another workaround at the ConTeXt file (b.tex).
\cldcontext{string.gsub([[\env{PDFdocument}]], "\\\\", "/")}
I don’t know why I needed to add "\\\\" instead of "\\". (otherwise, I
kept getting "C://Users//username//Desktop//document.pdf" and similar ones).
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
