Problems creating PDF from Photoshop

While trying to save a document as a pdf in photoshop, I received this error: "could not save a copy because of a program error" on two computers. No matter if I tried to print to Adobe or save as PDF.

Quick research online had me try to write to a different drive, and another suggested to rename the preferences file.

The first definitely didn't work. Perhaps getting rid of the perferences helped but not right away.

One change I definitely made was uncheck the bounding box and fool around with various other settings. Got it working on one computer (HP laptop). Tried to recreate the situation, but will just leave it for good enough now.

By the way, the document was my resume. Note I didn't claim expertise in pdf creation.

Interesting analytics service

A site that includes an analysis of the number of malicious websites also hosted on the same servers that host the site in question. (Not so relavent for the white house.)

Removed AddThis

Noticed a space occasionally opening up above the menu on my portfolio site WebDevelopersStudio.com -- an intermittent bug -- the worst!

StackOverflow identified the id of the div that appeared to be inserting itself in my code. I took the advice and retrieved a fresh copy of the AddThis widget, but still had the problem. Removed AddThis.
