What Causes Template Customization Issues in QB?
The two major factors responsible for issues while customizing templates in QB Online are mentioned here.
If lines and borders appear on some QuickBooks forms but not others, it is likely due to the printer setup settings. The "Do not print lines around each field" option might be selected for specific forms, causing the borders to be excluded during printing. Adjusting these settings can resolve the QuickBooks template not printing correctly.
Font issues often cause misaligned text in emailed PDF invoices within the invoice template. Incorrect or incompatible fonts can disrupt the layout, making text appear out of place. Adjusting the font or size within the template's layout designer can help resolve this alignment problem.
