A parameter can have a qualified name so I would rather define some 
namespace in the stylesheet and put the parameter name in that namespace

  <xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:pdf="http://example.com/pdf";
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    version="1.0">

    <xsl:param name="pdf:param1"/>
