I already know that maybe nobody use it to create report or use directly TCPDF or external tools like IReport… but I’m not a programmer and I would like to (try) use this tool.
I’ve been trying to use the PDF Report module to create a pseudo-delivery note printout for a while now.
In the body I have several lines to print in sequence and so I chosed Records per line in the settings.
I also uploaded a background with the borders and the various print areas.
I set height and other parameters in setting and enabled Header and Footer.
Now, going into the Layout Pdf area I find quite a great mess of fields and areas.
Is, someone of you guys, able to explain how does it think about positioning areas and fields?
I tried every thing but as first issue I’m not able to see all the background image (A4) in all its complete height.
I can set the height of header in some way but the height of footer is not logic. Does it starts from the bottom of page ??? I’m really stuck .
Thanks
Does it starts from the bottom of page ? The answer: Yes it does
For advanced reports i am using the php library FPDF. You should try it
You can ask chatGPT to make you some examples in order to understand if you don’t know…

I did some modifications
(lot of time !) and now it seems almost presentable.
I was not able to see all the background in full length behind the fields and in addition now, having changed slightly the code, I can’t see ever also it … ever.
This module was developed by the original owner of SC and noboby has the courage to say that is not fine (to be polite
)
