Print Designer

I am happy to announce integration of Chromium as an alternative PDF generation engine, replacing the previously used wkhtmltopdf.

Improvements:

  1. Support for CSS3 including ( grid, flexbox etc.)
  2. 2-3x Faster
  3. Better Debugging

I would request people to test their custom formats and share their experience. If you find any bugs please report them here.

Instructions to Install and use new backend

Notes

  1. Frappe Cloud is not supported for now press issue.
  2. Currently only latest version of develop branch of frappe framework and print_designer is supported.

Wow, this is huge.

Is this Frappe-wide, or just for Print Designer?

It works with any print format ( Frappe-wide). you do however need to install print_designer.
