Bug with % symbols in named destinations
When entering a named destination (for linking to within a PDF), it's impossible to enter a percentage sign ("%", U+0025). The symbol simply disappears from the name once entered.
It's possible it's being misinterpreted as a formatting specifier in a printf call (or something similar).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a document and select "Edit PDF"
2. Click the bullseye-icon in the left-most pane ("Destinations")
3. Click "Create New Destination"
4. Type "Bug%Test" and press Enter
5. Note the result is "BugTest" instead of the expected "Bug%Test"

"Why is this valuable to you?"
- It isn't. But as a developer, I feel obliged to report bugs when they're encountered. I doubt this is hard to fix, but it's a subtle bug that's likely to remain unnoticed.

The version number is 2017.009.20044 - the updater informs me I'm running the latest version of Acrobat. However, I can still reproduce this issue.
