hi everybody,

i'm encountring some issue with odoo 12 community  with paper format declaration: report are well generated and linked to the good paper format (verified on technical settings > reports ) but the output pdf is always A4 format.

it seems like the output is somewhere forced to A4.

if any one could help, it ld be graceful.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Please see this method of printing the reports in landscape mode from python code and see whether it helps: How To Print PDF Report In Landscape Mode From Code in Odoo

Sample:

def _print_report(self, data):
    data = self.pre_print_report(data)
    data['form'].update({'sort_selection': self.sort_selection})
    return self.env.ref('account.action_report_journal').with_context(landscape=True).report_action(self, data=data)

Thanks

Hello Kitty,

You need to define separate paper format for both report and used in paperformat_id of report record

Foe Example :-

Potrait :-
<record id="paper_format_potrait" model="report.paperformat">
    <field name="name">A4 - Potrait</field>
    <field name="format">A4-P</field>
    <field name="orientation">Portrait</field>
    <field name="margin_top">45</field>
    <field name="margin_bottom">25</field>
    <field name="margin_left">7</field>
    <field name="margin_right">7</field>
    <field name="header_spacing">34</field>
    <field name="dpi">90</field>
</record>

<report
    string="report_menu_name"
    id="unique_id_for_report"
    model="model.name"
    report_type="qweb-pdf"
    name="module_name.report_template_id"
    file="module_name.report_template_id"/>

<record id="module_name.report_configuration_id" model="ir.actions.report.xml">
    <field name="paperformat_id" ref="module_name.paper_format_potrait"/>
</record>

Landscape :-
<record id="paper_format_landscape" model="report.paperformat">
    <field name="name">A4 - Landscape</field>
    <field name="format">A4-L</field>
    <field name="orientation">Landscape</field>
    <field name="margin_top">7</field>
    <field name="margin_bottom">7</field>
    <field name="margin_left">7</field>
    <field name="margin_right">7</field>
    <field name="header_spacing">10</field>
    <field name="dpi">90</field>
</record>

<report
    string="report_menu_name"
    id="unique_id_for_report"
    model="model.name"
    report_type="qweb-pdf"
    name="module_name.report_template_id"
    file="module_name.report_template_id"/>

<record id="module_name.report_configuration_id" model="ir.actions.report.xml">
    <field name="paperformat_id" ref="module_name.paper_format_landscape"/>
</record>


Hope it will helps you.
Thanks,
