I'm creating a new report on Odoo 9 which uses css styles in order to position text over a background image. The image is in background and occupies the full A4 page without any margins.

In html, it's working fine. However, when I print the report to PDF, I have blank margins at left and right, and the text goes below the background image. It seems that the CSS rules are not applied. Do you find any solution for making it working in PDF?

Here is my report:

<template id="sub_proposal">
    <style type="text/css">
        .container {
            padding: 0mm;
        }
        #sponsor-ref {
            position: absolute;
            top: 84mm;
            left: 45mm;
        }
        #form_image {
            position: absolute;
            top: 0mm;
            left: 0mm;
            width: 210mm;
            height: 297mm;
        }
        #form_image img {
            max-width: 100%;
            max-height: 100%;
            margin: auto;
        }
    </style>
    <t t-call="report.html_container">
        <t t-foreach="docs" t-as="o">
            <div class="page">
                <div id="form_image">
                    <span t-field="o.sub_proposal_form" t-field-options='{"widget": "image"}'/>
                </div>
                <span id="sponsor-ref" t-field="o.ref"/>
            </div>
        </t>
    </t>
</template>

The style tag and contents must be set within the <div class="page"> element.

I don't have any documentation, only from experience.

Thanks, this resolved my issue! Somehow, css style in the head section is ignored in PDF.

As well, it seems less optimized to load the style at each new page, so I wonder if there would be a solution allowing to declare only once the style.

Hi cino,

<template id="style_plain">

  <style type="text/css">

   .address {

    background-color:yellow!important;

                                           color:green!important;

                                 }

  </style>

 </template>

  <template id="html_container_plain">

   <t t-call="report.html_container">

    <t t-raw="0" />

   </t>

   <xpath expr="//head" position="inside">

    <t t-call="plain_reports.style_plain" />

   </xpath>

  </template>

This sample should work. Please modify according to your needs. your code missed xpath header section that is important because it will add your css in header then only your pdf will take those styles



Thanks

Sorry but it does produce the exact same result as I mentioned. It seems that PDF generation does not take into account css style in the head section because answer from Travis who proposes to put the style inside the page does make it work.

Have you created two templates sepeartely one for css and other for design?

Yes I separated the templates. Here was my code :

<template id="style">

<!-- Add report style -->

<style type="text/css">

.container {

padding: 0mm;

}

#sponsor-ref {

position: absolute;

top: 84mm;

left: 45mm;

}

#form_image {

position: absolute;

top: 0mm;

left: 0mm;

width: 210mm;

height: 297mm;

}

#form_image img {

max-width: 100%;

max-height: 100%;

margin: auto;

}

</style>

</template>

<template id="html_container">

<t t-call="report.html_container">

<t t-raw="0"/>

</t>

<xpath expr="//head" position="inside">

<t t-call="report_custom.style"/>

</xpath>

</template>

<template id="sub_proposal">

<t t-call="report_custom.html_container">

<t t-foreach="docs" t-as="o">

<div class="page">

<div id="form_image">

<span t-field="o.sub_proposal_form" t-field-options='{"widget": "image"}'/>

</div>

<t t-if="o.lang in ('en_US', 'it_IT')">

<span id="sponsor-ref" t-field="o.ref"/>

</t>

<t t-if="o.lang in ('fr_CH', 'de_DE')">

<span id="sponsor-ref" t-field="o.ref" style="top: 88mm;"/>

</t>

</div>

</t>

</t>

</template>

Please try this

<template id="style">

<!-- Add report style -->

<style type="text/css">

.container {

padding: 0mm;

}

#sponsor-ref {

position: absolute;

top: 84mm;

left: 45mm;

}

#form_image {

position: absolute;

top: 0mm;

left: 0mm;

width: 210mm;

height: 297mm;

}

#form_image img {

max-width: 100%;

max-height: 100%;

margin: auto;

}

</style>

</template>

<template id="sub_proposal">

<xpath expr="//head" position="inside">

<t t-call="report_custom.style"/>

</xpath>

<t t-call="report_custom.html_container">

<t t-foreach="docs" t-as="o">

<div class="page">

<div id="form_image">

<span t-field="o.sub_proposal_form" t-field-options='{"widget": "image"}'/>

</div>

<t t-if="o.lang in ('en_US', 'it_IT')">

<span id="sponsor-ref" t-field="o.ref"/>

</t>

<t t-if="o.lang in ('fr_CH', 'de_DE')">

<span id="sponsor-ref" t-field="o.ref" style="top: 88mm;"/>

</t>

</div>

</t>

</t>

</template>

Sorry, still not. If I change

<xpath expr="//head" position="inside">

<t t-call="report_custom.style"/>

</xpath>

by just calling the style

<t t-call="report_custom.style"/>

after <div class="page">, it works. Must be PDF limitations as your solution works in HTML but not in PDF.

Chandran N Nepolean

Hi Cino,

Please give last try this one..

so change path here <xpath expr="//div[@class='page']" position="after">
