METHODS

   Text::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.

   $n->convert ($str, $pdf)
       Converts a name into a string by removing the / and converting any hex munging unless $pdf is supplied
       and its version is less than 1.2.

   $s->as_pdf ($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.

   Text::PDF::Name->string_to_name ($str, $pdf)
       Suitably encode the string $str for output in the File object $pdf (the exact format may depend on the
       version of $pdf).  Prinicipally, encode certain characters in hex if the version is greater than 1.1.

   Text::PDF::Name->name_to_string ($str, $pdf)
       Suitably decode the string $str 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.
