Hi,

 

When uploading the invoice template, i cannot preview the custom template. i have narrowed the error to be when row number is one of the field it wouldnt show the preview. in the template putting <srno> seems to not allow me to preview it also.

 

Thanks

Let's get this sorted out, proj.

 

Can you please provide me the exact error you're getting so I can properly address your concern? As an initial troubleshooting step, let's access your account via an incognito or private window to see if you're able to preview your custom invoice template. 

 

If it works, let's go back to your main browser and clear the cache. This helps remove data that has been stored over some time and allow QuickBooks to load as a new page and remove any errors or glitches that may cause this odd behavior. As an alternative, you can also use other supported browsers.

 

If you're still getting the same results, let's try updating the Adobe Reader/Acrobat to the latest version. To do this, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Close Acrobat/Reader and all open web browser windows.
  2. Select the Start button at the bottom left of your screen.
  3. Type Control Panel, then press Enter.
  4. Click Programs and Features and select Acrobat or Adobe Reader, then Uninstall/Change.
  5. In the Setup dialog box, select Next.
  6. Select Repair, then Next.
  7. Select Install. When the process is complete, select Finish.
  8. Restart your computer. Then, log back in to your account.

I'm also including this article to learn more about importing custom form styles for invoices or estimates in QuickBooks as your guide.

 

I'd appreciate it if you'd update me on how the steps work. I want to make sure this is taken care of.

opening it in incognito didnt resolve the issue i dont think its acrobat reader issue since i cant preview it at quickbook. i narrowed the issue to be row number field isnt working and probably causing issue to the preview.
