QB DESKTOP ENTERPRISE REPORTS FORMATTING

Hey everyone,

 

I had a question on the formatting of the reports when I try to print via PDF. Whenever I do so, it only prints half of the columns on one sheet of paper and then prints the other columns onto the next. Is there anyway for this to be fixed?

QB DESKTOP ENTERPRISE REPORTS FORMATTING

Yes, there is, @DLEE14322. You'll want to ensure that the print settings for your reports are properly configured to align with your preferences. Let me guide you on how to do that below.

 

Please follow the steps below to check whether the print setup for reports is correct:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) software, then click the File menu.
  2. Choose Printer Setup.
  3. From the Form Name drop-down, select Report.
  4. Review the Page Breaks section and the Fit report to field to ensure they are set up correctly.

 

If everything is accurate, please make sure your QBDT is up to date. This ensures you'll always have the latest features and fixes. Then, let’s run the QuickBooks Print & Print Repair Tool from the QuickBooks Tool Hub to resolve any issues with your company file. Here's how:

 

  1. Download and install the latest QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Open the file you downloaded and follow the on-screen instructions to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  3. Once installed, click the QuickBooks Tool Hub icon to open it.
  4. In the QuickBooks Tools Hub, select Program Problems.
  5. Click QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool.
  6. Once the tool has completed its process, start orienting, emailing, or printing your reports as a PDF from QBDT again.

 

If the problem continues, I suggest you follow Solutions 2-4 of this article: Fix PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Additionally, you can check out these articles to learn more about different reports in QBDT and how to customize them:

 

 

Feel free to respond to this post if you require additional assistance with printing reports as PDFs in QBDT, and I’ll be happy to help you. Wishing you a wonderful day!
