Apparently with Windows 8 MS changed the Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
This change doesn't allow QuickBook versions older than their 2013
version to "print/email/save" documents as pdfs. On some computers using
the Microsoft XPS Document Writer that came with Windows 7 works with
the older versions. Thankfully this is working for my 2012 version of
QuickBooks.
Why Intuit chose this method I have no idea. Intuit has its own PDF
converter that is installed with QuickBooks.
I have no idea if this has anything to do with your issue. Just thought
I'd let you know.

Existing programs D2007 (compiled Windows 7 and also compiled on

practice to get PDF output
Neither is working on Windows 8.1 -- I get an exception "invalid
filename" which I am trying to track down. The filename and folder is
not the issue, nor permissions. So far the only thing I have thought
is that the programs are 32 bit, and is there an issue accessing
printing printing sub-system on 64 bit Windows?
Anyone struck this or have any ideas?
BTW Windows 8.1 is a decided improvement to Windows 8 -- start menu
gets some of the way back to the good functionality of the Windows 7
start menu which they had just about perfect. Some things in Windows
8.1 are an improvement -- the instant search actually finds the item
you are looking for as the default usually. Some things are just
strangely broken -- I cannot associate some programs with extensions
(it looks like only installed programs can be associated), there is no
place to manage wireless networks except at the command line, and try
finding the off switch. And the way the charm bar keeps popping out
when I move the mouse anytime to the left. Oh and its actually
Windows 6.3.
