Quickbooks 2009 PDF Converter doesn't work in Win 7 (64 Bit)
This has nothing to do with Mercedes but, it is a tough problem I recently solved so I thought I would share the the solution.
The Problem: The functions "Save as PDF" and "Email invoice" do not work in Quickbooks Pro 2009 when running on Windows 7 (64-bit). It is a problem that could be easily resolved by Intuit but, they would rather sell you Quickbooks Pro 2010 for $200. Here's the solution that worked for me... I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009 version R10 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. What I found is that Quickbooks needs an older 32-bit version of xmllite.dll for the Amyuni PDF printer to work. The simple solution is to copy the correct file into your Quickbooks program folder. The correct version is: xmllite.dll 119 KB 1/20/2009 File version 1.0.1018.0 It just happens to be part of a self-extracting zip file, QBDPDF_303.exe, that can be downloaded from Intuit. Here: http://sharedldfp.intuit.com/pub/quickbooks/QBDPDF_303.exe Download the self-extracting zip file and double-click to unzip it. DO NOT USE any of the other files contained in the zip. They are an old version of the Amyuni PDF printer that WILL NOT work with Windows 7 64-bit. Here are the steps: Make sure you have administrator privileges on your computer. 1) Close Quickbooks 2) Go to "Printers and Devices" and delete the "QuickBooks PDF Converter" and the "QuickBooks PDF Converter 3.0" 3) Copy only the xmllite.dll file into your Quickbooks 2009 program folder. For me that folder is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\QuickBooks 2009 AND copy xmllite.dll into this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks 4) Reboot 5) Open Quickbooks, go to any invoice and select "File" and "Save as PDF...". You may have to close Quickbooks and repeat step 5 twice. Step 5 will recreate the QuickBooks PDF Converter and should print your test PDF. You should also be able to email invoices now. NOTE- Go to "Printers and Devices" and make sure the "QuickBooks PDF Converter" is NOT the default printer. If it is, make another printer the default and repeat steps 4 & 5 above. If the above steps fail to work you may also need to uninstall and reinstall the Amyuni PDF printer. Here's how: A) Do steps 1-3 above B) Open a command prompt in your Quickbooks program folder and run the command "install -u". That will do the uninstall. C) Reboot D) Open a command prompt in your Quickbooks program folder and run the command "install". That will do the install. E) Go to "Printers and Devices" and delete the "Amyuni PDF printer" if it exists F) Do steps 4-5 above UPDATE Intuit finally recognized that they screwed up and now have made an "official" fix available. Click here to go to the fix Hope this helps!

A little bit too involved.
Just download XP mode. It's a 32bit XP virtual machine. I use it to run TI Connect for my TI 84. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx And if you run 7 home here are instructions on how to get it to work. http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/12/14/workaround-to-install-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7-home-premium-and-home-basic/

XP mode will only work if you have the virtualization feature in your CPU. Older processors lack the feature but will run Windows 7.
However, there are many available PDF printers. These look like a Windows printer to the application, producing a PDF file for the output. There is no reason to have a PDF creator in any given application that can otherwise print. |

I work as a tech, and I can say the XP mode solution would be much preferred. Its the KISS method. Complex solutions often end in disaster, or further work.

Oppsy You're right. It isn't just older processors, it's Intel being foolish in adding the Intel VT feature to its processors. Here's a list of supported processors. Fortunately my macbook pro is one of them http://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-xp-mode-virtualization-intel,7709.html
