Dear all,

For the pdf file made by mutool ( http://mupdf.com/ ), I get the 
following warning with extractbb.

extractbb:warning: Invalid xref table entry [0]. PDF file is corrupt...
extractbb:warning: Error while parsing PDF file.
extractbb:warning: test.pdf does not look like a PDF file...

The xref table in the pdf file is as follows and there is an empty line 
in front of the trailer. This is why extractbb fails.

---------------
xref
0 5
0000000000 00001 f 
0000000018 00000 n 
0000000064 00000 n 
0000000116 00000 n 
0000003698 00000 n 

trailer
<</Size 5/Root 1 0 R>>
---------------

I wrote the attached patch and now it works well.

Sincerely,
Noriyuki Abe
