Print PDF issues

Thanks for becoming part of the Community, dhavalkakadiya.
 

Initially, I'd recommend using our QuickBooks Tool Hub to troubleshoot your Save as PDF option.
 

Here's how:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download a copy of the utility's latest version.
3. Open its file (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Follow your on-screen steps to agree with our terms and conditions, then begin the installation.
5. Once it's installed, double-click its icon on your desktop. If you can't find it, do a search in Windows for "QuickBooks Tool Hub" and select the program.
6. In your tool hub, choose Program Problems.
7. Click QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool.

The utility will take about a minute to run. After it finishes, try saving one of your reports as a PDF again.
 

If it works, the tool hub fixed your issue. In the event you continue experiencing problems saving reports as PDF files, you'll want to proceed with our additional troubleshooting processes.
 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a great day!

I did try this but unfortunately has not worked.

I ran the QB Pdf Print repair tool but I am still getting the same message.

Thank you for joining this thread, AvalancheLock.

I appreciate you for performing the troubleshooting steps suggested by my peer above. This usually fixes common print-related issues while using the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) program.

Aside from the repair tool, you can restart and reset your temp folder permissions. Start by restarting your computer and then try to print the PDF again. If this doesn't fix the issue, follow these steps to reset your temp folder permissions:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the RUN command.
2. Enter %TEMP% and press Enter.
3. Right-click an empty area of the temp folder and pick Properties.
4. Choose Security.
5. Make sure all user names and groups in Security have Full Control.
6. Once the permissions have been set to Full Control, save it as a PDF again in QuickBooks.

Then, test if you can print to your XPS Document Writer (Microsoft Windows product) to save as a PDF. Here's how:

1. Open Notepad and type Test. Click File and then Print.
2. Select the XPS Document Writer, and then Print. If you don't see XPS Document Writer, you must allow your computer to print to your XPS printer.
3. Enter a filename and save it to your desktop.
4. Go to your desktop and view the XPS document you printed using notepad.

If the issue persists, proceed with Solutions 3 and 4 of this article: Fix PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop.

However, I recommend contacting our technical support team if the problem continues after performing the solutions above. One of our experts has the necessary tools to check your account securely and perform a screen-sharing session to investigate this behavior further.
