I appreciate the response but I've been there, done that, in fact did everyone of the steps.  Spent 1.5 hours on the phone with QB priority circle support on Friday and follow up on Monday.  I was able to find the workaround on monday.   All pdf's work except for invoices "save as pdf" and reports "print pdf".   The tech agreed it looks like a bug in Quickbooks.  I offered my setup environment for your engineers to test/recreate if they'd like.
