Customizing Export to PDF template

I am trying to customize the BOM export to PDF under the structures tab. Any changes I make to the XSLFO.XSL file do not seem do anything. I'd like to add the filename, company name/logo in the header and change the color scheme. Does anyone have any tips? Do I need to run a command to update the template files once they are edited?

Hi,

This would need customization. I had created a PDF export (with customer logo) for one of my customer, I can share sample code and related files with you. You can reach me at karthik@teamspringg.com OR ketan@teamspringg.com .. and I will revert back with file and steps.

 

Thanks,

Karthik

Hi Karthik,

 

Could you share the code also with me? We have a similar requirement and we were thinking initially to use an excel template.

Hi @Alex1988 

You can use the excel file as a template with all formatting as you need.

You just need to write a code that load this template fill it with your data values ,and save as a new excel file.

 

If you need PDF you need to find any excel to pdf convertor library, or you can use itext to generate own PDF directly without excel file.
