When printing from Tax to MYOB PDF Manager, nothing appears in MYOB PDF Manager.

To fix the issue
- Open Tax on workstation.
- Go to Maintenance menu > User Preferences…The preferences window opens.
- Select Print Options Tab and click on Print Return Setup. The Print Return Set up window opens
- Choose PDF Manager Tab and select any form then click on the ellipses button at the end to choose a page setup for that form. The existing page setup window opens.
Select New to create a new Page Setup, name it PDF Manager and click OK. The PDF Manager page setup appears.
Select the page setup: Portrait (with default settings) and Landscape with Page scaling set to 92%.
- Highlight PDF Manager page setup and click on properties. The properties window appears.
- Select PDF manager as the Default Printer and check the box to make PDF Manager the default printer for this page setup. The printer setup is complete for that Form.
- Repeat steps 1 - 7 for all forms on the PDF Manager Tab. The process finishes.
Now when printing a print return, in printers choose PDF Manager. Also make sure PDF Manager is running in system tray or is open.
