Hello,
I have got around 2k invoices and I want to download pdf at the same time but system just shows 50 invoice per page.
Can you please help me about that?
Thank you
Hi @fayet,
The easiest way to do it would be to create an account back up. One of the files you will get from this will then have all of your invoices.
Hope this helps
If you absolutely must have the invoices in PDF form (i.e. it’s not sufficient to just download the detailed data behind them in your account backup CSV files) then I don’t think there’s any way through the UI to get a PDF of more than 50 invoices at a time. The only alternative I can see would be to use the API - Invoice_Search to find the relevant invoices and then Invoice_GetPDF for each one in turn - but that requires some programming knowledge.
Hello Beth,
Thank you for your message. Does backup just give me CVS file instead of pdf?
Thank you for your message.
It can be another printable option as well.
I did API- Invoice_search and Invoice_getPDf but after that I could not find anywhere to be able to search dates.
If I can see that logic I will be able to get PDFs in this way.
Hi @fayet,
Yes unfortunately the back up created spreadsheet versions but it would download all in one go. The only way to get in pdf would be to try what @ian_roberts suggested or do it 50 at a time.
I will try this API thing because 50 at a time takes 10 mins to create each. I have got at least 2000 invoice and it takes 7 hours minumum.
Thank you for your help

The search API supports IssueDateFrom and IssueDateTo search parameters that should do what you’re after.
In the api documentation green means required and red means optional - there are lots of different options for the different search parameters you can pass, you only have to include in your XML/JSON the ones that make sense for your particular use case.
Also it looks like Invoice_Search can only return up to 200 records at a time so you’ll have to make several calls from your code using the offset parameter to page through the full list.
When you say you “can’t add anything” - the API isn’t something you use from your web browser, you’ll have to write code of some sort to make the right calls with the right authentication in the right order. There is a browser “sandbox” that you can use to try things out in your browser but you’re going to have to make over two thousand total API calls if you really need to fetch all the PDFs.

Thank you but I am trying for days. It’s not happening.
I have seen another topic that one customer has requested this and support team did it for him.
I am poweruser. So, I have been paying for quickfile.
I would like to export at least 200 invoice one time on the quickfile menu.
Thank you
Hi @fayet
Unfortunately the export for the PDFs is limited to 50 at a time. You will need to wait for the 50 to complete before generating the next batch.
Yes, I know but I have 3k invoices. I will need to do 60 times for this. I am looking for the easiest way.
Thank you

Is there a reason you need to export all your invoices as PDF? There may be an easier way to achieve it.
Amazon’s new rule has been stated. We are supposed to upload each customer invoice to their system.
And also we have been reporting details to HMRC departments.
You mean as another format instead of pdf?
Thanks
Hi @fayet,
Yes, you can download all of the invoices in spreadsheet format in one go from using the account back up.
