Hi All,
Exporting it to Pdf and then opening it with Foxit Reader worked, so thanks all for your help. The strange thing is after opening it in Foxit, I then saved it as a copy which Adobe Acrobat was able to open. Very Odd indeed. At least I now have a workaround which allows me to send out Account Reports to other Club Members. So once again thanks for your help.

Let me know if this one works. As you can see -- fortunately or unfortunately -- there are many ways to skin the cat on this one -- ultimately there will be a way to get what you want. BTW -- when I export the native file to PDF - mine opens with no problem. So I don't think this is a GNU-CASH issue -- I actually think it could be an Adobe issue since I do not use Adobe for pdfs (not even the reader). -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2021 10:43 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Cc: 'GnuCash users group' <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: RE: [GNC] Pdf Export Problems Hi Ken, I did try what you suggested, but unfortunately for me it did not work. It produced an error saying,........... This file is already open or in use by another application. I did however open the saved Exported Pdf file in Premier Elements Pro, but it did create quite a few errors with the headings, which took over an hour to resolve.

Instead of export to pdf try print and chose Microsoft print to pdf. Save with the name you want and the resulting file opens fine in pdf. At least it does for me. Give it a try and let of us know if this is a good work around for you.

When I try and open it in Adobe Acrobat DC Reader, it will not do it and gives an error code of 135. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is, as it hasn't happened before?
