qbo file dowloads as pdf

Welcome to the Community, @Kirsten4.

Let me share some information about qbo file download in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Before that, I'd like to verify where did you export and download? This way, I can provide exact information to get this fixed.

The option to download the .qbo file in QuickBooks is unavailable. However, if you downloaded the file from the Banks website, you can export it to Excel or PDF.

You'll want to consider manually uploading your transactions. It contains steps that'll guide you through entering them into the program.

Use these articles for further references about handling bank transactions in QBO:

• Download, match and categorize your bank transactions.
• Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

I understand the importance of uploading your file from Wells Fargo Bank into QuickBooks Online, DowntownJoe. Allow me to help you.

You can request your bank to download the file as CSV type, if ever they won't provide the file format then you can use a third-party file converter tool by visiting the Apps menu. From there, you can see all our supported applications including a file converter. You can search for one that you can use to make your PDF file a support one.

Also, if you have a PDF format already, you can convert it into a CSV file by simply copying the data from the PDF and pasting it to Excel, then saving it using the CSV format. You can check the detailed steps here: Format CSV files in Excel to get bank transactions into QuickBooks.

You should contact Wells Fargo to be sure. If they only provide PDF files, you can use MT Online or pdf2qbo as a workaround.
