Can anyone tell me how to change this PDF invoice template to a different one? When you click validate in the POS module it automatically downloads a PDF invoice. But I want this to download a different template design that is already installed in Odoo.
Thank you!
To change the default layout of invoice reports in Odoo then go to General Settings > Companies > Configure Document Layout. Here you can change the template of the report for the company.

Our customer uses a TYPO3 9.5 LTS and complains about the fact that they always have to activate the "alt" tag in the TYPO3 backend to enter the text. We force our customer to do so to hit the W3C requirements.
So is there a way to activate the checkbox by default in the backend? Or may be to remove it at all and allow to prompt even an empty field there?
All images should have a (global) default entry for these fields(title, alt-text, description). Then you would see this default value and only if you want other values for this usage of the image you need to activate the field to edit.
If your editors only fill in the fields for each usage (probably always with the same data) they do additional work.
Show them how to edit the data in the file-manager (File List module):
Open the backend module FILE-> Filelist.
If you have not done yet: check [x] Extended view beyond the list of files and folders.
Then you will get more icons in this view which otherwise are ony available in the contextmenu.
The important icon is the pencil (edit button). it does not edit the content but the metadata of a file.
If you insist on SEO you probably have installed the extension filemetadata which adds some more information fields and scheduler tasks to extract data automatically.
So the amount of available fields to edit depends on the extensions you have installed, but the basic filds are availe by the TYPO3 core.
If your editors upload new files they should fill in these fields to have the information available with each usage. And only if there is a usage which needs other metadata your editors need to make this fields editable.
I customized external_layout, it's working fine with new records. But not for older records. Old invoices which are not in draft state still printing in default external_layout.
How can I resolve this?
The report settings provide a property to reload from attachment(You'll need to enable developer options).
The settings are found at "Settings => Technical => Reporting => Reporting"
(The invoice report can be found as "Invoices")
When this setting is checked it won't create a new one but serve you the old report.
You have two options:
You could delete the old attachment on the attachment dropdown (enabled by the document module) on
the specific record and click on the bin icon behind the old report.
Uncheck the setting in the configuration. Then Odoo would create a new report every time you'd print an invoice. (This also has as result that the amount of attachments build up)
Invoices are saved as attachment in default odoo configuration. That means: if there already is a printed pdf in the attachments, odoo will print them instead of render a new pdf. By deleting the attachment, odoo will print a new pdf.
We have a company letterhead document which we apply to all outgoing official documents. This is a .PDF document with a header and footer.
Is it possible to integrate this document to odoo v9 so it will be used or all our generated docs?
yes can can have global header and footer for your company.
you need to go to the settings >> companies and edit company record. where you can find the "Report Configuration" tab. in that you can edit the RML header as you want.
Hope this helps!
Every OpenERP web report ask me if I want to keep the PDF. Of course I must keep it to view it. I end up with lots of PDF files that I have to clean up. I would like to configure OpenERP or my browser to automatically create and manage the temp PDF files.
My research shows me great confusion in the industry about security flaws in PDF files causing browser plugins that profess to being "PDF Viewers" to come and go. I have yet to find any method, procedure, plugin, add-on or magic incantation that views PDFs without me managing the file.
If you are using firefox and linux , why not open firefox & go to
Edit -> preferences -> applications ->
search for 'pdf' and in Action field select 'use(default)'.
This way the pdf will be stored in '/tmp' folder & opened from there.
You won't have to bother about managing it.
It is not possible in a clean way, you need a module that modifies the behaviour of openerp reports to be inline. There are two options:
https://github.com/buke/openerp-web-pdf-preview-print - I think this
is the best option as it works all the time, the caveat is it
launches a separated window like a popup (then you require to accept
popups).
https://www.openerp.com/apps/web_pdf_viewer - This is amazing as it
shows the pdf in the work area of openerp (no need to open a new tab
or a new window) but at the moment doesn't work at all times,some
reports are just downloaded instead of displayed (I dunno why).

Is there any way to Add "Print as PDF" like functionality available in Quotes module to the Contacts module. I want to save the contact information into a PDF format by clicking on a button that may appear in the Contact module Detail View.
I know this is an old question but thought would post a related reply, might help out someone.
In the Contacts module there is a Generate Letter option in the actions dropdown on detail view. This option will link to the related templates you create in PDF Templates module.
If you do not have a pre-defined template, you can go to the PDF Templates module build a custom template for the related module with the information you need in the PDF.
Then when you click on the Generate Letter link, it will show you the templates present for the said module, you just have to select the preferred template and it will download the PDF for you.
If I've understood your question correctly this I think might help you.
