PDF Preview

Preview PDF reports directly inside Odoo before downloading or printing them. Improve report validation, reduce unnecessary downloads, and enhance productivity with an embedded browser preview experience across all Odoo applications.

App Overview

Introduction

The PDF Viewer module enhances the standard Odoo reporting experience by allowing users to preview PDF reports directly inside the browser before downloading or printing them. Instead of automatically downloading reports, users can review documents instantly through an embedded PDF preview window.

This improves report validation, minimizes unnecessary downloads, and enables users to quickly verify formatting, totals, layouts, and report content before sharing or printing documents.

The module integrates seamlessly with Odoo's standard reporting engine and works across Sales, Accounting, Purchase, Inventory, Human Resources, Manufacturing, and all other report-driven business workflows.

Compatible with both Community and Enterprise editions, the module provides a lightweight and user-friendly solution for previewing PDF reports without changing the existing Odoo reporting workflow.

Purpose

The purpose of the PDF Viewer module is to provide a faster and more efficient way to review PDF reports before they are downloaded or printed.

It helps users validate report content, verify layouts, reduce printing mistakes, eliminate unnecessary file downloads, and improve document accuracy across daily business operations.

By integrating directly with Odoo's reporting engine, the module enhances productivity while maintaining the standard reporting workflow, making report verification simple, convenient, and consistent across every department.
