The Problem We Solve

Odoo's default behaviour forces a download every time you want to see or print a report. It sounds small — until you do it 50 times a day.

Download Wait

Download, Open, Print — Every Single Time

Printing an Odoo report means downloading a PDF, finding it in your Downloads folder, opening it, then printing. Three steps that should be one.

Cluttered Downloads

Downloads Folder Full of PDFs

Every report you glance at leaves a file behind. After a week, your Downloads folder has hundreds of invoice PDFs, packing slips, and labels you never needed to keep.

Quick Glance

No Quick-Glance Option

You just want to check if an invoice looks right before sending. But Odoo forces a full download — there is no native way to preview a report in the browser.

Warehouse Delays

Warehouse Staff Waste Time on Labels

Printing shipping labels and packing slips dozens of times a day. The download-open-print cycle adds up to minutes lost every hour for warehouse and shipping teams.

Context Switching

Context Switching Kills Focus

Jumping between Odoo, your file manager, and a PDF viewer breaks your workflow. Every context switch adds cognitive load and slows you down.

Security Concern

Sensitive Documents Left on Disk

Downloaded invoices, payroll reports, and client data sit in your Downloads folder long after you needed them. That is a security and compliance risk waiting to happen.

Your Problem. Our Fix. One Line Each.

No vague promises. Every real-world annoyance, matched to a specific thing Fusion PDF Preview does today.

Problem

"I just want to check the invoice before I send it — why do I have to download it first?"

Solution

Click Preview and the PDF opens in your browser tab instantly. No file saved, no Downloads folder clutter.

Problem

"My Downloads folder has 300 invoice PDFs I never asked for."

Solution

Preview renders in the browser using native PDF viewing. Nothing is written to your disk unless you explicitly choose to save.

Problem

"Warehouse staff print 50+ labels a day. Download-open-print is killing their speed."

Solution

One click opens the print dialog directly from the browser preview. Three steps become one.

Problem

"I keep switching between Odoo, my file manager, and a PDF reader just to print a report."

Solution

Everything stays in the browser. Preview, verify, print, close the tab — you never leave Odoo's workflow.

Problem

"Sensitive invoices and payroll PDFs are sitting in my Downloads folder for anyone to see."

Solution

Browser preview means no file on disk. The PDF exists only in memory while the tab is open — close it and it is gone.

Problem

"New staff keep asking how to print reports. The download step confuses them."

Solution

The preview button is obvious and intuitive. Click it, see the report, print if needed. No training required.

Problem

"On mobile and tablets, downloaded PDFs open in random apps or get lost entirely."

Solution

The browser handles the PDF natively on every device. No app switching, no lost files, consistent experience everywhere.

Problem

"We tried browser extensions but they break Odoo's UI or stop working after updates."

Solution

Fusion PDF Preview is a native Odoo module — it hooks into the report action cleanly and survives upgrades without browser extension headaches.

How It Works

Install the module and the behaviour changes instantly. No configuration, no settings to toggle — it just works.

Install

1. Install the Module

Install Fusion PDF Preview from the Apps menu. No dependencies beyond the core web module. Takes seconds.

Click Preview

2. Click Any Report Button

Use the Print menu on any record — invoices, sale orders, delivery slips, labels, custom reports. Instead of downloading, the PDF opens in a new browser tab.

Preview

3. Preview Instantly

The report renders in your browser's native PDF viewer. Zoom, scroll, search text — all without leaving your browser or saving a file.

Print

4. Print or Close

Hit the print button in the browser viewer or press Ctrl+P / Cmd+P to send it to your printer. Or just close the tab — nothing was downloaded.

Simple Module. Big Impact.

Five features that eliminate the most annoying part of working with Odoo reports.

Who Benefits Most

Anyone who prints or previews Odoo reports regularly. Here are the teams that notice the difference on day one.

Warehouse & Shipping Teams

Print dozens of shipping labels, packing slips, and delivery orders every day. Eliminating the download step saves minutes per hour across the team.

Accounting & Billing Staff

Review invoices, credit notes, and payment receipts before sending to clients. Quick preview means faster verification without cluttering the desktop.

Sales Teams

Preview quotations and sale orders before sharing with customers. Catch formatting issues instantly without downloading and opening a separate viewer.

Manufacturing & Production

Print work orders, manufacturing orders, and quality check sheets on the shop floor. One-click printing keeps the production line moving.

Purchasing & Procurement

Review purchase orders and RFQs before sending to vendors. Preview in the browser, verify line items, and print or send — all without a download.

Any Odoo User Who Prints Reports

If you click Print more than a few times a day, this module pays for itself in time saved — and it is completely free.
