Introduction

The Direct To Print module for Odoo gives you full flexibility in handling PDF reports by offering three main actions: print, view (open), or download. Instead of always downloading a PDF and then printing it manually, this module lets users send the report straight to a connected printer via the browser. You can also configure default behavior per report so that users rarely need to choose an action manually. It simplifies report handling and accelerates workflows.

Key Features

  • Send PDF reports directly to printer from browser (without manual download)

  • Open report in new browser tab for viewing instead of downloading immediately

  • Download the PDF to local device when needed

  • Configure default action (print / open / download) on a per-report basis

  • Clean modal UI to let users select the desired action if no default is set

  • Compatible with modern web browsers and adapts to standard report workflows
