I can not send invoices from QB Desktop Premier.  Message says I'm missing a PDF component. I have downloaded your "tool hub" but it doesn't seem to be working OR I'm doing something wrong.

We appreciate your efforts in trying to fix this error. Since the tool hub didn’t resolve the issue, a required Windows component is likely disabled, or your antivirus is blocking the software. Please ask your IT team to look into your security settings.

 

In the meantime, you can use this workaround to enable the missing component by typing "Run" in your Windows search bar and opening it. Input "optionalfeatures" and click Enter, then look for Microsoft XPS Document Writer, check the box next to it, and select OK. Once done, try to send your invoice again if it's now working.
