Create PDF to save or print

Whilst you can see the accounts preview on screen, there may be times when a PDF is preferred. This would give you an offline copy for when you might not have access to the internet, or if you want to print a copy.

To create a PDF file

Sole Traders Accounts Preview > Export toPDF> choose with or without draftmark.
Limited Companies Accounts Preview > Generate Set of Accounts >PDF> choose with or without draftmark.

The set of accounts is optimised for PDF and looks different to how it appears on the Accounts Preview tab.

Once you’ve produced a PDF file, you may want to save it to your device or computer. You might want to do this to transfer to a different device for reading, or for filing, or in case you anticipate not having access to the internet when you need this file.

  1. Upon clicking the PDF option, the set of accounts should open in a new tab in your browser.
  2. Look for a Save option. This may be on a File menu, or it may be represented by a Save icon.
  3. Choose a location to save the file.
