Modified PdfReader's EOF detector to ignore trailing NULLs in addition to whitespace.

Thanks for the patch! I have no problem with stripping trailing nulls, but to avoid any chance of regression, I would prefer not to stop stripping other characters which the current version would strip. Python's definition of whitespace includes vertical tabs and form feeds, so I think the characters to be stripped should include '\x0b\x0c' |

Sigh. I'm always forgetting those. I'm glad you caught that! |

We had the same issue with any file printed from Chrome on Windows 10. This will be a great patch. Thanks! (BTW, would it make sense to strip everything after the final %%EOF?) |

I ran into a print printer whose output appends a bunch of NULL characters after the %%EOF marker in it's PDFs. This tweaks PdfReader's EOF detector to ignore those like it does trailing whitespace.
