01 / Why convert
A .qbo file can’t be opened and read like a document. This makes a printable transaction report from it: dates, payees, amounts and totals, labelled as a report and not a statement.
02 / What carries over
From QBO to PDF, field by field.
What the QBO file can hold, and where it goes in the report.
| In the QBO file | In the report |
|---|---|
| Date | Kept |
| Amount (money in and out) | Kept |
| Payee or description | Kept |
| Memo (extra text) | Kept |
| Check or reference number | Kept |
| Bank’s transaction ID (FITID) | The report has no place for it |
| Account number | Last 4 digits only |
| Currency | Kept |
| Credit card (not a bank account) | Kept |
03 / Opening it
Reading and printing the report.
Any computer or phone
- Open it in any PDF viewer, or print it.
- Every page is headed “Transaction report” and says it is not a bank statement.
04 / The QBO file
Getting a QuickBooks Web Connect file (.qbo).
Intuit’s bank download for QuickBooks: an OFX file with Intuit’s bank id added. It carries each transaction’s date, amount, payee, memo, check number and the bank’s own transaction ID.
- Online banking: Transactions, then Download, then “QuickBooks Web Connect (.qbo)”.
Have a bank statement PDF instead? The bank statement converter reads it in your browser too.
05 / Good to know
The details that matter.
- A QBO file with several accounts (checking and savings in one download, say) lets you choose the account.
- OFX 1.x and 2.x are both read, along with the bank’s corrections to earlier transactions.
- The report never looks like a bank statement: it is titled “Transaction report”, says on every page that it is not a bank statement, shows only the last 4 digits of the account number, and has no bank name or balance boxes.
06 / Questions
Straight answers.
Is this QBO to PDF converter free?
Yes, for 2 files a day with no account. A free account (just your email, no password) gives you 2 more, and paid plans have no daily limit. It runs in your browser, and nothing is stored.
Is my QBO file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and the PDF file is written by code running in this browser tab. Neither is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and convert a file.
Is the PDF a bank statement?
No, and it is made so it can’t pass for one. It is a transaction report: titled as such, marked “Not a bank statement. Not issued by a bank.” on every page, with no bank name, logo or balance boxes, and only the last 4 digits of the account number.
My QBO file has several accounts. Which one is converted?
The first, until you choose another: when a file holds more than one account (checking and savings, say), the panel lists them all.
07 / More converters
Other files, same idea.
All of them run in your browser. For PDFs, start at the bank statement converter; every converter is on the converters page.
