Has anyone figured out yet how and with which software to add the dynamic fields (like Sale Order Number) to the new v17 PDF quotation builder templates. The documentation does not explain this part. I have tried Libre Office to create a PDF form, making sure the name of the fields were corresponding to the ones mentioned in the docs. It sort of worked, but you could only see the auto populated value in the PDF after clicking on the empty field. And the field remains editable.
So how is this supposed to work? What do we need as software additionally to Odoo to build a template that show the fields populated and uneditable?
Edit: Tested a demo quote on demo.odoo.com for the Large Meeting Table. Downloaded the PDF and opened in Acrobat Reader. The Sales Order Number and Customer name only appear when clicking on the empty field. Also not there on the printed version. But if I open the PDF in Chrome browser it looks fine. This seems to be a PDF issue (lots of hits on Google)
So perhaps Libre Office still is a good way to build a quote template using open source software. So I will be testing some more. Also still need to figure out how to prevent the field from being editable after the PDF is generated.
