Faster PDF reports. Not one template rewritten.
OrbitPDF Fast Report puts the native PlutoPrint engine under the reports you already print, in place of aging wkhtmltopdf. Every QWeb report renders up to 15× faster, with correct headers, footers, and page numbers, and it ships pre-calibrated for all seven standard Odoo layouts. A one-click print button and an in-app PDF preview replace the download-and-open routine. Install it and print.
# A Faster Engine, Under Your Existing Reports
wkhtmltopdf has rendered Odoo's PDFs for years, and it is showing its age: it launches a headless browser for every run, stalls on large batches, and its layout quirks force manual CSS workarounds. It has been unmaintained upstream since 2023.
OrbitPDF Fast Report swaps in the native PlutoPrint engine without touching your templates. The reports you print today render the same, only faster and correct: headers and footers repeat on every page, page counters work, and the seven standard Odoo layouts arrive pre-calibrated. Add a zero-download print button and an in-app preview, and reporting stops being the slow part of the day.
The 30-Second Setup
# The Lean Path to Native Speed
OrbitPDF is a family of three modules, each independent. Fast Report is the middle child: it takes the raw rendering core and makes it production-ready in one install, calibrated and wrapped in a real print experience. It builds on the Engine, which installs with it, and it hands finished documents to whatever prints them next.

Printing is really two problems wearing one name: building the document and getting it onto paper. Most tools solve half and leave you to duct-tape the rest. The OrbitPDF family covers the whole path with independent modules that snap together, one design language, one support inbox.

# Who We Are
Sveltware Solutions is a small studio building premium extensions for the Odoo backend. We work close to the metal, its OwlJS layer, rendering pipeline, and extension points, so we can change how Odoo feels without touching what keeps it stable: we build on the framework's own hooks, never override its internals.
Not one add-on but a connected ecosystem, themes, list and kanban tools, faceted search, printing, activity, and AI, under one design language. Every module is plug-and-play: zero config, no schema changes, clean uninstall, and proven on production-scale data.
It is built to be looked at, too: Apple-grade spacing, a flat-premium finish, strict WCAG 2.2. Our standard is effectiveness first, every module earns its place by making real work faster, and so does our support: you write to the engineers who built it, not a ticket queue.
# How We Build
Six standards every Sveltware module must pass before it ships:
