Invalid XREF Table

[jappyjan]

I'm trying to use exiftool (https://exiftool.org/) to change the exif data of a PDF generated via jsPDF.
This operation fails with the error message "Invalid xref table".
Seems like jsPDF somehow creates a corrupted xref table?

The generated PDF is attached here:
test - 14-08-2020 10-57-44 - Bauzeitenplan.pdf

Seems like there is in fact an error in the xref table jsPDF generates. It seems to be missing a space character between the "n" and the linefeed character:

xref
0 24
0000000000 65535 f
0000087474 00000 n
0000089381 00000 n
0000000015 00000 n

I modified your file:
test.-.14-08-2020.10-57-44.-.Bauzeitenplan.pdf. Could you test if this file works with the exif tool? If yes, I'm gonna fix that issue.

yes it works!
thanks for the very quick reply!

Awesome. I'll prepare a pull request.

I have encountered this error often in adding Description and Keywords tags to my collection of PDF books.

The free Mac utility "Lightweight PDF" seems to fix the issue, while also shrinking the size of the PDF file.
