    [gropdf] Deal better with invalid destination names.
    
    Bookmark destinations (supplied by -T to .pdfbookmark)
    are "Name Objects" in pdf terms, as such they are limited
    to characters in the range 33 (!) to 126 (~). Characters
    outside this range must be coded as a # followed by the
    2 digit hex number. So a space character should be '#20'.
    
    Gropdf produces pdfs which conform to this rule, but the
    pdf parser (used to import pdfs for pdfpic) expects only
    valid syntax. To convert pdfmark input to a pdf object
    gropdf used this inbuilt parser.
    
    The .TH macro in an.tmac passes its first parameter as a
    bookmark destination. Normally this is fine, since the
    convention is that this will be the name of the program
    the man page is documenting. The problem in this case
    is the line:-
    
    .TH "Pamaltsat User Manual" 0 "14 September 2018"
        "netpbm documentation"
    
    The first parameter contains spaces, which yields invalid
    syntax when parsed as "/Dest /Pamaltsat User Manual(0)".
    
    * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf: Don't use internal parser
    on "user" supplied input, be a bit more careful.

    Thanks to Bjarni for the report.

There are a few other issues with this man page, such as an invalid . TS/TE
tbl, but these are more to do with the conversion from html to man, rather
than gropdf.
