How do I add my Invoice to an email?

I used to be able to send an invoice and it was attached to the email as a PDF.  Now with all the wonderful changes for no reason it doesnt send the PDF.  I tried to follow the instructions but they are wrong.  The tab they say to hit does not exist.  Any sane person out there that can help would be much appreciated.  I am sick of QB stupid uodates that make everything more difficult and longer.

How do I add my Invoice to an email?

Hi there, @Rvanvleet. I recognize the importance of having a PDF file attached to your invoice.

 

First, let's ensure to tick the PDF Attached in the Account and Settings to send an invoice with a PDF file.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Select Sales.
  3. In the Online Delivery, click the Pencil icon.
  4. Tick the PDF Attached.
  5. Click Save and Done.

 

Once done, if the PDF Attached box still doesn't exist on your end, you can perform some troubleshooting steps to ensure this is some browser-related issue. 

 

You can open your account in an incognito mode. Whenever you visit a website, it saves some information from the web page in its cache and cookies. These files allow the websites you visit most often to load faster.

 

Here's how to access incognito mode in some of the most commonly used web browsers:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Option + P

 

If you can tick the PDF Attached in the Acocunt and Settings by browsing privately, it's safe to say that it's caused by the browser. You can fix it by clearing your cache and cookies.

 

Alternatively, you can run QuickBooks on another supported browser like Google Chrome to isolate this issue.

 

Also, I'll be sharing these resources that will guide you in recording invoice payments and personalize your sales forms in QuickBooks:
