PDF Preview for Odoo
Stop cluttering your Downloads folder! Preview generated PDFs instantly in a beautifully integrated wizard dialog.
❌ The Problem
By default, every time you print a quotation, invoice, or any report in Odoo, it automatically downloads a copy to your local device. This clutters up the Downloads folder with unnecessary duplicate files, causing storage issues and a frustrating user experience.
✅ The Solution
This module intercepts Odoo's native printing behavior. Instead of forcing a download, it instantly opens your PDF report in a sleek Preview Wizard modal right inside Odoo. You can seamlessly preview the document, and choose to download or print it only if you actually need to using the built-in action buttons.
Why you need this module
🚀 Instant In-App Preview
No more digging through your file explorer or switching tabs. View reports instantly in a built-in wizard.
💾 Save Storage
Keep your desktop and downloads folder clean from hundreds of temporary invoices and quotes.
⚡ Zero Configuration
Just install the app and it instantly works globally across all Odoo QWeb PDF reports.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I stop Odoo from downloading PDFs automatically?
By installing the "PDF Preview" module by Odoocrafts, Odoo's default behavior is modified to open PDFs securely in an on-screen preview wizard dialog instead of triggering a forced download.
Does this work for custom Odoo reports?
Yes! Because this module hooks into Odoo's core `ir.actions.report` framework, it automatically applies to all PDF reports, including those generated by third-party or custom modules.
Is it compatible with Odoo 19?
Absolutely. The module is built using the latest Owl JavaScript framework standards ensuring seamless compatibility with Odoo 19.0 Community and Enterprise editions.
How does it differ from the default Odoo behavior?
Normally, Odoo directly pushes the PDF file to your browser's download manager. With this module, an interactive modal popup appears within the Odoo interface containing the PDF preview along with dedicated Print and Download buttons.
