Quick update for all those waiting, as the first beta will be delayed a little: In favor of stability & reliability, we replaced one underlying library with a custom-made. This will delay the first beta to approx. mid of April, but will add further simplicity as well.
So… good things take time.
New Chrome Headless is now available for testing locally in develop version ( FC support is pending ). feat: Chrome PDF Generator by maharshivpatel · Pull Request #399 · frappe/print_designer · GitHub
Hi @Maharshi_Patel
Thank you, great news for all users of Print designer and it’s future (which is definitelly very promising) .
Our solution will provide a different, more Jinja oriented approach:
- Free control over content with jinja and full html/css support
- Printpreview 1:1 identical look to the final PDF (preview is rendered clientside, therefore more performant)
- Dynamic header/footer
- Custom page formats
I know Print Designer does fullfill a lot of those needs, but still not all. This was the initial reason for our custom app. However, I’d love to see them implemented in Print Designer too in the future
@neocode what i shared is new pdf generation backend for frappe ( not limited to print_designer ). It’s uses Chrome headless rendering. i shared this as you earlier mentioned it in the post. Thank you.
Ah, I see. Thank you
Does your solution work on version 14? If so, I am really looking forward to it.
Interesting.
