    ASCIIHexDecode filter: PDFReference v1.4 section 3.3.1
    For each pair of ASCII hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F or a-f), the
    ASCIIHexDecode filter produces one byte of binary data. All white-space
    characters are ignored. A right angle bracket character (>) indicates
    EOD. Any other characters will cause an error. If the filter encounters
    the EOD marker after reading an odd number of hexadecimal digits, it
    will behave as if a 0 followed the last digit.

    >>> asciihexdecode(b'61 62 2e6364   657>')
