pdfkit.rb for working with showoff
# /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/pdfkit-0.5.2/lib/pdfkit/pdfkit.rb
# I kept getting invalid argument and file not found errors when creating a PDF
# from my showoff presentations. Changing a few lines fixed this behaviour.
# Thanks to clyfe (https://gist.github.com/1330326) for his optimized version!
