PDF not appearing when creating a shipping label in ShipAccel

If the PDF is not appearing when creating a shipping label, the pop-up blocker in your web browser may be blocking the window.

Products affected: ShipAccel

Issue

When creating a shipping label, the PDF is not appearing for the label, the summary receipt, or the FedEx customs invoice.

Cause

The pop-up blocker in your web browser may be blocking the window.

Resolution

Solution 1: Verify that "Print to PDF" is selected

  1. In ShipAccel, select Settings > Print Options.
  2. Verify that the Print to PDF option is selected. The Print to PDF option generates a PDF, which you can then print using your web browser's print function.
  3. Attempt to print again.

Solution 2: Check for a pop-up blocker

Make sure your web browser isn't blocking the pop-up window. Select your web browser from the list below for additional steps.
