How To Install, Delete and Repair QuickBooks PDF Converter

QuickBooks PDF Converter is a virtual printer driver that allows you to create PDF files from within QuickBooks. It is a built-in feature of QuickBooks that converts your reports and forms into a PDF format, which you can then save or email to others.

When you install QuickBooks on your computer, the PDF converter is also installed automatically. Once installed, you can use it to create PDF files from any report, statement, or form that you generate within QuickBooks. This is a convenient feature that eliminates the need to use an external PDF converter or to print a hard copy of the document.

The QuickBooks PDF Converter works by creating a virtual printer that is installed on your computer. When you select the PDF converter as your printer, QuickBooks generates the report or form as if it were printing it to a physical printer. However, instead of producing a hard copy of the document, the PDF converter creates a PDF file that you can then save, email, or share as needed.
