How QuickBooks writes PDFs
- • Invoices and estimates are generated from templates.
- • Amounts are right aligned in columns.
What that means when you change the total
- • Line items and amounts edit in place with column alignment kept. Totals are not recalculated.
- • Amounts in QuickBooks PDFs are right aligned, so a longer value grows to the left and the column stays straight.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Totals are right aligned, so longer amounts grow to the left.
- • Double check the arithmetic; the PDF will not do it.
Questions people ask
+Does it check the maths?
No. A PDF is a printed page. Check the numbers before sending.
+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.
