How QuickBooks writes PDFs

  • • Invoices and estimates are generated from templates.
  • • Amounts are right aligned in columns.

What that means when you change a name

  • • Line items and amounts edit in place with column alignment kept. Totals are not recalculated.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • A longer name pushes the words after it along the line; right aligned names grow to the left.
  • • Names often contain letters the PDF has not used yet, like Z, Q or accented letters. The complete font is loaded for them.

Questions people ask

+Should I change names on official documents?

Only on documents you are entitled to change, such as your own drafts, templates and letters.

+Is it better to edit in QuickBooks?

If you have the original QuickBooks file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
