I'll make sure this gets sorted out, @DSparer.
When software is outdated, you encounter issues when doing tasks in QuickBooks Desktop.
You'll want to ensure your Adobe Acrobat Reader is updated to prevent the issues you're having. For comprehensive instructions on how to update Adobe Reader/Acrobat, visit the Adobe website.
If the problem still exists after updating to the most recent version of Adobe Reader, let's adjust the alignment. Let's say for example you're trying to save a check:
- Click on +New.
- Select Print checks.
- Click on Print setup.
- Select No, continue setup. Then select No, continue setup again. This brings up the alignment window for checking and fixing alignment by adjusting the margins.
- In the check image window, drag the grid to make the numbers appear in the same place on the sample print. QuickBooks will automatically adjust the alignment. Note that the numbers on the vertical and horizontal fields are adjustable and tell QuickBooks exactly where to print the check amount.
- When done adjusting the grid, select View preview and print sample. Then select Print.
- Follow the on-screen steps to finish printing your sample check.
- Check the alignment of your sample against a blank check.
- Repeat the grid alignment process and print as many times as you need until your check is aligned correctly.
- Select Finish Setup.
If everything falls into place, you're good to go. You may now try to save your transactions as a pdf.
Lastly, as you continue working with your customer transactions such as invoices, you can as well read the information in this article on how you can create more than one invoice from a single estimate: Set up and send progress invoices in QuickBooks Desktop.
