QuickBooks Printing issues fixed. From emailing forms to printing deposit slips this tool may very well be what you need.

PDF Repair Utility. Intuit has combined the separate versions into one installation package – you will be asked to select the year of QuickBooks you are working with. It is a little messy, as it leaves some files on your desktop, but that isn’t too big of a deal.


You may have a problem with access permissions to the “temp” folder in Windows. To fix this:

  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the RUN command.
  2. Type %TEMP% and press Enter.
  3. Right-click an empty area of the temp folder, and choose Properties.
  4. Make sure that all usernames and groups showing on the Security tab have Full Control.
  5. Once the permissions have been set to Full Control, try saving as PDF again within QuickBooks.
