PDF: how to interpret names not listed on Adobe Glyph List

While parsing different PDF files I face up glyph names not listed on Adobe Glyph List in font encodings (specifically in Font.Encoding.Differences)

For example: budleafboldsw

Any recommendations how to interpret ones (empty strings, nulls, string entities)?

Refer to Adobe docs/specs if possible please.

The Adobe Glyph List Specification says that such names are mapped to empty strings:

The name ‘foo’ maps to an empty string, because ‘foo’ is not in AGL, and because it does not start with a ‘u’.
