When saving my developer story as pdf via the "save as pdf" button on the right sight, the email in the resulting .pdf file is messed up.

In my case, @gmail.com gets displayed as @gamil.com.

I double-checked my own settings for this typo, however all seems to be correct.

  • This is, ummm, weird. We don't play with any of the data before it makes its way into the PDF. Investigating!

Sigh, we have a lot of email addresses kicking around the database for a user. There's an on-going project to eliminate all this crazy, a large amount of which was introduced as part of integrating Careers into SO as /jobs.

In short, the PDF export functionality uses the email address from your job preferences, because usually when you want a PDF of your story it'll be for a job.

Yours currently has a typo in it; you can fix it by editing your preferences. In the 'Jobs Emails' section you'll find the differing email address.

    I don't have a field in that section, does it only appear when you have different email addresses?

    @Stijn yes, that's right.
