Hello! I am using 14.0 CE and I have a problem with the invoice PDF, the header and the footer with the company info are not showing, I searched and found that could be a problem with the wkhtmltopdf version but I installed multiple versions and still not working, also I search the document template and the template has the header and footer, I don't know why the PDF don't show the header and footer.
Thanks for the help!
SOLUTION TO HAVE PRINT HEADERS:
I had the same issue, and I was able to resolve it by following shaneebkhan's steps but in this way
The steps are as follows (ChatGPT assisted us with this):
Install wkhtmltopdf on Ubuntu 22: To install wkhtmltopdf on Ubuntu 22, open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
Check the current version of wkhtmltopdf: After installation, verify the current version of wkhtmltopdf with the following command:
wkhtmltopdf --version
If the version is 0.12.6, you will need to remove it and download version 0.12.5.
Uninstall version 0.12.6: Open a terminal and execute the following command to uninstall the current version of wkhtmltopdf (0.12.6):
sudo apt remove wkhtmltopdf
Then, if you wish, you can remove unused dependencies with the command:
sudo apt autoremove
Download and install version 0.12.5: Download the deb package of wkhtmltopdf version 0.12.5 with the following command (make sure to copy the entire command):
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb
Next, install the downloaded package along with the required fonts:
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi sudo apt-get update
Fix broken packages (if necessary): If, after following the previous steps, you encounter broken packages, you can try to fix them with the following command:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
Once you have followed these steps, verify the wkhtmltopdf version again to confirm that you are now using version 0.12.5 with the following command:
wkhtmltopdf --version
It should display version 0.12.5 if everything went well.
I hope this guide helps you resolve the wkhtmltopdf installation issues and generate reports correctly in Odoo 16. Good luck!
AS A RECOMMENDATION, some cases may require the installation of libssl1.1 to address additional issues. You can try downloading and installing it with the following commands:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.22_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.22_amd64.deb
I had to validate the version directly on the /usr/local/bin folder, but it worked!
Hi,
The solution of adding key/value in the system parameters solves a different issue: your report prints without any formating (CSS).
If your reports print without the header and the footer, check the log (error_level = debug). You will certainly view such messages:
WARNING databasename odoo.addons.base.models.ir_actions_report: wkhtmltopdf: b"The switch --header-spacing, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --header-html, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --footer-html, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-odoo16'\n"
To solve the problem you have to patch your wkhtml2pdf
Type this command to get the current version
# wkhtmltopdf --version
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5
After patching your library, you will get the following response
# wkhtmltopdf --version
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 (with patched qt)
This will solve the problem.
hi,
hear the problem was installation of wkhtmltopdf
i have same issue in odoo 16 finally i corrected by proper installation of wkhtmltopdf
first we have to install wkhtmltopdf ubuntu 22 terminal
1. apt install wkhtmltopdf
2. wkhtmltopdf --version
whether its 0.12.6 remove and download 0.12.5
\\ 4\\.sudo\\ dpkg\\ \\-i\\ \\ wkhtmltox_0\\.12\\.5\\-1\\.bionic_amd64\\.deb
sometimes\\ it\\ may\\ error\\ then\\ try\\ to\\ install\\ one\\ or\\ two\\ things
\\ 1\\.wget\\ http://archive\\.ubuntu\\.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1\\.1_1\\.1\\.1\\-1ubuntu2\\.1\\~18\\.04\\.22_amd64\\.deb
\\ 2\\.sudo\\ dpkg\\ \\-i\\ libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.22_amd64.deb
3.sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
4.sudo apt-get update
5.apt --fix-broken install
finally confirm the "wkhtmltopdf version is 0.12.5"
I had the same issue with Odoo 16 on Ubuntu 22.04 (arm64).
I directly download the qt-patched version 0.12.6.1-2 on https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Wkhtmltopdf version 0.12.5 is not available for Ubuntu 22 arm64. Any hints to have headers and footers back for this architecture?
Yes indeed, I had the same issue with arm64.
You can download it directly on https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6.1-2/wkhtmltox_0.12.6.1-2.jammy_arm64.deb
Has anyone managed to get this working correctly?
I've tried setting the parameter.
All versions of wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6, 0.12.5, 0.12.5 (with patched qt).
All headers are being forwarded as well.
I had the same issue when generating PDF reports for customers. I tried downgrading wkhtmltopdf to version 0.12.5, but it didn't work.
However, I found the solution to fix it for both versions 0.12.6 and 0.12.5.
My solution was to update the system's proxy.
Always redirect to HTTPS if you're using HTTPS.
And set the following values in the header:
```
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
```
You can refer to the template below.
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
upstream odoo_servers {
server 127.0.0.1:8069;
keepalive 16;
}
upstream odoo_chat_servers {
server 127.0.0.1:8072;
}
server {

server_name xxx-xxxx.demo.com;

return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

error_log /var/log/nginx/xxx-xxxx.demo.com.error.log;
client_max_body_size 5000M;
