Convert QBR to DES

Understanding QBR and DES file formats

QBR files are QuickBooks Report Templates used by Intuit QuickBooks accounting software. These files store customized report layouts, filters, and formatting options, allowing users to import and export report templates between different QuickBooks company files.

DES files, on the other hand, are most commonly associated with Pro/ENGINEER (now Creo) Drawing Export files or Corel Designer files. They are used for storing design data, vector graphics, or drawing information, depending on the application.

Can you convert QBR to DES?

Direct conversion from QBR (QuickBooks Report Template) to DES (design or drawing file) is not supported, as these formats serve entirely different purposes and are used by unrelated software. QBR files contain accounting report templates, while DES files are for design or vector graphics data.

Alternative approaches

If your goal is to extract data from a QuickBooks report and use it in a design or drawing application, you can:

• Open the report in QuickBooks using the QBR template.
• Export the report data to a common format such as CSV or PDF via File → Export → Export Report to Excel or File → Save as PDF.
• Import the exported file into your design software (such as Corel Designer or Creo) and use the data as needed.

Recommended software for conversion

• QuickBooks Desktop: For opening QBR files and exporting reports.
• Microsoft Excel: For handling exported CSV or Excel files.
• Corel Designer or PTC Creo: For working with DES files.

There are no direct QBR to DES converters. The best workflow is to export your report data from QuickBooks and then import or manually recreate the necessary elements in your design software.

Summary

While QBR and DES files are not directly compatible, you can transfer data by exporting reports from QuickBooks and importing them into your design application. This process may require some manual adjustment depending on your specific needs.
