IndexError when last page is blank

[jonathan-s]

If the last page is completely blank an index error occurs.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "scrape_pdf2.py", line 159, in test
    pdflist = get_table_pages(pages)
  File "scrape_pdf2.py", line 95, in get_table_pages
    cells = [pdf.process_page("example.pdf",p) for p in pages]
  File "/Users/jonathan/.virtualenvs/elance/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pdf_table_extract-0.1-py2.7.egg/pdftableextract/core.py", line 211, in process_page
    if vd[i+1]-vd[i] > maxdiv :
IndexError: index out of bounds

I'm not really sure what you want to happen. There is a page, so an IOError seems wrong. The code should raise an explicit error rather than fail by assuming that vd exists, but if there was no table on that page what behavior are you expecting?

I think an option for failing silently would be nice, that is if it fails it would just skip that page.
