Changing printed invoice layout (odt file)

[Kivech]

I've been trying out Tryton over the past few days and ran into the
following 'challenge':

When I print an invoice, I am tied to the layout and markup that has
been defined in the provide odt file.

Now, changing the layout should not be too much of a problem, I would
think. However, changing font and character sizes is a real challenge.
Where are those defined, and how do I change those?

Also, is it possible to manage a set of different print layouts that
one can then select from the Invoice Print menu?
If so, how does one do this?

Looks like great piece of software that you guys got here, so thumbs
up!

My only advice would be: create more extensive documentation.
Basically I would expect questions like these to be covered in
standard documentation of this kind of software.

Keep the good work up!

You can edit the template from the menu:

Administration>User Interface>Actions>Reports

You must edit the content field by save it somewhere and re-select the file
after saving change.
The database will keep a copy of it and Tryton will use it instead of the
source file one.

Not with default modules. But it is possible to develop a module that will add
this choice. But it is a little bit strange to have this feature perhaps you
can fix it by using <if> template condition.

I am also working on the invoice report. Everything works fine until I
want to ad our logo to header_A4.odt.

Printing an invoice ends with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Can tryton handle gif-files?

Thanks for your help in advance.
