Open PDF's in a new tab for printing instead of downloading the file first.
When printing a PDF the file opens in a new tab so it can be printed instead of downloading the file. Xero downloads the PDF to file when the "Print PDF" button is clicked creating file clutter and unnecessary steps to print a PDF. It would be useful if the PDF opened in a new tab and could be printed immediately without downloading the file first like other accounting software does. This will save time and clutter in files.
Thank you for your suggestion to have PDFs open in a new tab or preview window for easier printing.
Currently, as you know, Xero downloads PDFs directly to your device before you can print them. While we’ve looked into opening PDFs in a new tab, there are challenges like browser pop-up blockers and security concerns that make this difficult to support smoothly for everyone.
At this stage, there are no plans to change the current process. However, your feedback is valued, and you can continue to share your thoughts and support for this idea on our product ideas page.
