Hi Regina,

There is no need to change accounting programs. What you want is to 
install a pdf creator such as Adobe Acrobat. I am not talking about the 
free reader, but rather the actual authoring program (this may cost a 
few $$). What this does is install a virtual printer driver. While Adobe 
Acrobat knows how to create links directly into certain programs like 
Microsoft Office, for other programs, all it needs is the ability to 
print. When you have the report in QuickBooks you want to print, instead 
of selecting your actual printer in the print dialog, select the Adobe 
PDF printer. When you print, it will pop up a dialog box asking you for 
the path and file name to save the pdf. Once it is done, you now have 
the pdf file which is an exact replica of how it would have been printed 
on the printer.

I am sure there are other shareware or maybe freeware programs 
available, but I have no experience with them so I can't say how good 
they are.
