How can you get PDFs created in QuickBooks desktop to appear in Recent Items?  I am using QB Desktop Pro 2021 and Windows 10.  Thank you.

Thank you for getting back, @RoyKG.

 

If I got you correctly, it seems that you’re referring to the Recent Items located on your computer desktop. Worry less. I can guide you on how you can locate these PDF files in that section.

 

Suppose that you’re about to download the transactions to your computer. You’ll want to check the file location before proceeding. To see these downloads in the Recent Files section, you will need to open them first. After that, these files will be visible in the recently accessed or Recent Files portion.

 

I also add the following guidelines to walk you through about locating recently accessed files:

 

  1. Open the File Explorer folder.
  2. From the left panel, select The Quick access folder.
  3. Then, you’ll see the file under the Recent File section.

 

That’s all, @RoyKG. You should be able to see the following PDFs in the section. For future assistance, you can check out this article to help you close out your previous year and prepare for a new one: Year-end guide for QuickBooks Desktop.

Hello there, RoyKG.

 

To make sure that I'll be able to address your concern properly, may I know what specific PDF file are you referring to? Are you trying to download an attachment in PDF format?

 

I hope you can provide more details so we'll be able to get back to you as soon as possible. Have a great day!

Thank you for that solution.  I wish that QB just put it on the Recent Files list but I guess that is too much to hope for.
