Choosing File as the Print Destination
Overview
Sage ERP Accpac lets you print reports to a printer, to the screen, to a file, or as an attachment to an e-mail message.
Note: You must be assigned to a security group that has been assigned permission to change the print destination. (Otherwise, the only destination available will be to a physical printer.)

Click File > Print Destination.

Click the File option.

Check in that directory folder to be sure the file went to the correct location.
