Bad %%BoundingBox: comment seen!


You've got to love Adobe PostScript, with all their archaic error codes and messed up printing styles. What do you do when your printer babbles, "Bad %%BoundingBox: comment seen!" on a simple letter-sized print job from Photoshop? Just ignore it, mostly. Apple says it's Adobe's problem, and Adobe just says, "Meh." After all, what are you going to do, use something other than Photoshop?

After some more digging, I eventually discovered that I could save the image as a PDF and print from Acrobat. There's your solution, folks, if you wanted one.

Why I love(d) Google Docs

Google Docs is such a useful tool. You can collaboratively edit documents with other people, track the changes one-by-one, and you can also edit the CSS and HTML of each page directly, making it a snap to format code for web pages.

So, what does Google do to "improve" upon their already great example of cloud-based document editing? They remove those features completely. Dammit, Google! What are you going to do next, remove labels and search functions from Gmail?
