In Odoo, we can define a paper format for our report according to our convenience. In this blog we are discussing how to add a custom paper format for a qweb report in Odoo. Below is an example code used for creating a custom paper format.
<record id="custom_paperformat_id" model="report.paperformat">
<field name="name">Custom Paper Format</field>
<field name="default" eval="True"/>
<field name="format">custom</field>
<field name="page_height">297</field>
<field name="page_width">210</field>
<field name="orientation">Landscape</field>
<field name="margin_top">15</field>
<field name="margin_bottom">10</field>
<field name="margin_left">10</field>
<field name="margin_right">10</field>
<field name="header_line" eval="False"/>
<field name="header_spacing">3</field>
<field name="dpi">90</field>
</record>
Here we will mention the name of paper format
<field name="name">Custom Paper Format</field>
Here we will provide a predefined format (A0 to A9, B0 to B10, Legal, Letter, Tabloid etc.) or use a custom one such as A4 by default.
<field name="format">custom</field>
Here we will provide the page height and width in Millimeters.
<field name="page_height">297</field>
<field name="page_width">210</field>
For orientation field we can use Portrait or Landscape.
<field name="orientation">Landscape</field>
Here in the margin fields we can define our margin dimensions in Millimeters.
<field name="margin_top">15</field>
<field name="margin_bottom">10</field>
<field name="margin_left">10</field>
<field name="margin_right">10</field>
Here we can use a boolean expression to display a header line in your page.
<field name="header_line" eval="False"/>By using header space we can increase or decrease space between header and page.<field name="header_spacing">3</field>The default dpi used in Odoo is 90, we can change it as per our needs.<field name="dpi">90</field>After creating the paper format we can see it in the Paper Format menu under the Reporting menu of Technical Settings.
<report id="your_custom_report_id"
string="Name of the report"
model="your model"
report_type="qweb-pdf"
file="your_module_name.your_custom_report_template"
name="your_module_name.your_custom_report_template"
paperformat="your_module_name.your_custom_paperformat_id"/>
These are the steps to add a custom paper format to a custom qweb report in Odoo.
