Hello,
QuickBooks Premier 2019 User -
I am seeing my P&L on the screen and everything is all lined up in one column. When I go to print the report or save to a PDF, there seems to be indenting of the numbers that make the report hard to read. Is this expected?
See attached pics of what prints vs what shows on the screen.
THANK YOU!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, Isaiah58Financial.
You've got me here today to help you get hard copies of your Profit & Loss report via QuickBooks Desktop.
The indent between the numbers on your Profit & Loss report isn't adjustable. The indent normally shows if you have set up sub-accounts. This way, you can identify the amounts from the sub-accounts to the parent accounts.
As a workaround, you can export the report into Excel and print it from there.
Here's how:

Printing issues can occur for different reasons. Here are some of the possibilities:
With that, we have more than one solution to this working. Before we do any of the troubleshooting steps, I'd recommend updating QuickBooks to the latest release.
The first recommended solution is to use the QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool.
If the same thing happens, you can follow Solutions 2-4 in this article: Troubleshoot PDF and Print Problems with QuickBooks Desktop.
This should print exactly what shows on your screen. I'll be right here if you need additional help.

Hello,
I am having the same problem. The report looks good on screen but when it goes to a PDF, the totals are set-off. When there is a sub-total and a total, it makes the report hard to read (headache territory). I do get that I can send it to Excel but would rather not have to go through that extra step to run a simple report off an accounting program. It just seems that "what you see is what you get" is what should be happening. Thank you...
