Thank you for participating in this thread, llbokepr. Let’s work together to ensure you can download the PDF components safely in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Before we proceed, could you share what troubleshooting steps you’ve tried before encountering the error message when trying to download the PDF component? This will help us find a better solution together.

In the meantime, I suggest downloading our QuickBooks Tool Hub. This tool can help resolve PDF downloading issues and other problems you may encounter. Here's how to do it:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.8) of QuickBooks Tool Hub.
3. Open and install the downloaded file (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, select Program Problems.
5. Click QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool.
6. Try to download the PDF from QuickBooks Desktop again.

For more troubleshooting steps, you can refer to this article: Fix PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop.

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Support Team. They have a screen-sharing tool that can help pinpoint the root cause of this matter and submit a ticket for further investigation if needed.
