PDF Error

See original posting...

Hello there, @richardb58.

I appreciate you running the repair tool to both applications. Let's work together to fix the PDF error you're experiencing.

Before trying any troubleshooting steps with your software, we usually recommend running the PDF & Print Repair Tool first. That tool helps self-identify and fix problems with PDF.

Click the button below to download and run the tool. Once the tool completes, try opening QB but not logging into a company file. If you get the same error message, proceed with the other recommendations below.

Another suggested solution is resetting your temp folder permissions. 

1. Reboot your computer.
2. Press the Windows key + R keys to open the RUN command.
3. Type %TEMP% and press Enter.
4. Right-click an empty area of the temp folder.
5. Choose Properties.
6. Select the Security tab.
7. Ensure all usernames and groups showing on the Security tab have Full Control.

Try accessing your QuickBooks and PDF file again. You should be good to go after that! In case you need more steps to perform, check out this article: Troubleshoot PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop.

Keep me posted on how these steps work out for you. I'll be keeping an eye out for your response and look forward to getting to the bottom of this. Take care and have a good one.
