Fixed: Errors printing PDF from Quickbooks, post script errors
I print all of our company invoices from QuickBooks and found recently that printing to Adobe PDF using the distiller didn’t work. Adobe would create a .log file on the desktop containing the following error:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: endcidrange ]%%(lots of misc. characters omitted here)
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Unfortunately it took two uninstalls for me to figure out the quick fix. The problem was due to using fonts in our Invoice Templates that apparently didn’t work with Adobe’s Postscript. Simple Fix: Go into your template and change your recently modified elements to use a popular font such as Arial.
For those who are sick of distiller, a free open source option is available and works great: PDFcreator via SourceForge
