How to Update a PDF Driver in Quicken
When using Quicken accounting software, you need a working and updated PDF driver in order to generate PDF files on the fly. A PDF is a convenient way to send email invoices and other documents via email from Quicken in a format that others cannot modify easily, as they could with a plain text or Microsoft Word file. You can reinstall a non-functioning or older PDF driver in just a few steps.
