From the Sales App Settings, we can locate the PDF Quote Builder, which can help us create customizable sales quotations.

We can configure Header pages (pages before the quotation) and Footer pages (pages after the quotation).

If we want to make it more dynamic (example: adding automatically the sale order number or the client’s name to the PDF), we have to add specific fields to the PDF.

We can do it by using LibreOffice, which is a free software.

Open your PDF with LibreOffice:

From Insert > Form Control, add a Text Box:

Edit the properties of this Text Box:

In “Name” add the technical name of the corresponding Odoo field (from this window, you can also edit the font style).

Adding the sale order number:

Adding the field for client’s name:

Now you can export it as PDF:

Upload it in the settings for general use (or in quotation templates for specific use):

Create a sale order and download the PDF Quote:

Now we have dynamic PDF’s!

Tip: Enable the developer mode to look for the technical names of Odoo Fields:

You can also find here more examples of commonly used fields.
