auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Sign Qweb PDF reports with a PKCS#12 digital certificate. Configure a certificate and signing rules per report, and optionally save the signed PDF as an attachment.
This module lets you digitally sign PDF reports generated by Odoo using a PKCS#12 certificate. On any report configuration (the ir.actions.report screen), a new "Sign" tab appears where you can pick a certificate, define a domain to decide which records should be signed, allow or disallow signing when several documents are merged into one PDF, and optionally save the signed file as an attachment with a chosen filename.
When a report is printed, Odoo checks the report type and certificate. If the report is a Qweb PDF and a certificate is set, the PDF is signed automatically. If "Allow to sign only one document" is enabled and more than one record is selected, the report is not signed. A signing domain can further filter which records qualify.
If a signed attachment filename is configured, the signed PDF is stored as an attachment on the record and reused on later prints instead of re-signing. The module adds a demo report "Test PDF certificate" on partners and a demo certificate for testing. It depends on the certificate and account modules.

- In the report form, open the Sign tab.

- Optionally, you can set:

- Save as attachment: Set the signed document report file name pattern. Example:
(object.name or '').replace('/','_') + '.signed.pdf' - Signing domain: Filter the document that will be signed. Example:
[('move_type','=','out_invoice'), ('state', '=', 'posted')]
Usage
Source · Odoo 18.0User just prints PDF documents (only Qweb PDF reports supported) as usual, but signed PDF is automatically downloaded if this document model is configured as indicated above.
If 'Save as attachment' is configured, signed PDF is saved as attachment and next time saved one is downloaded without signing again. This is appropiate when signing date is important, for example, when signing customer invoices.
You can try the signing with the demo report that is included for customers called "Test PDF certificate".
