       PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Name - Inherits from PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::String and stores PDF names
       (things beginning with /)

METHODS

   $n = PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Name->from_pdf($string)
       Creates a new string object (not a full object yet) from a given string.  The string is parsed according
       to input criteria with escaping working, particular to Names.

   $n->convert($string, $pdf)
       Converts a name into a string by removing the / and converting any hex munging.

   $s->as_pdf($pdf)
       Returns a name formatted as PDF. $pdf is optional but should be the PDF File object for which the name is
       intended if supplied.

   PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Name->string_to_name($string, $pdf)
       Suitably encode the string $string for output in the File object $pdf (the exact format may depend on the
       version of $pdf).

   PDF::Builder::Basic::PDF::Name->name_to_string($string, $pdf)
       Suitably decode the string $string as read from the File object $pdf (the exact decoding may depend on
       the version of $pdf).  Principally, undo the hex encoding for PDF versions > 1.1.
