Report Preview

Report Preview

Preview PDF Reports Before Downloading

Open standard Odoo PDF reports in a browser preview tab instead of immediately triggering a file download. This helps users review the report first, then print or save it from the browser PDF viewer.

Key Features

• Preview standard Odoo PDF reports before saving the file
• Works with regular qweb-pdf report actions
• Preserves active records, report options, and action context
• Keeps wizard close behavior for reports using close_on_report_download
• Does not change XLSX, XML, text, or other report download handlers
• No server model changes and no extra user configuration required

How It Works

The module adds a lightweight Odoo 19 backend report handler for qweb-pdf actions. When a user prints a PDF report, the report URL is opened directly in a new browser tab so the browser's PDF viewer can display it inline.

Report Preview Workflow

1. Install the Report Preview module.
2. Open any record that has a PDF print action.
3. Click the standard Print menu and choose the report.
4. Review the PDF in the new browser tab.
5. Print, save, or download the PDF from the browser viewer when needed.
