Quick-start Guide

Frappe Betterprint is focussed on ease-of-use, but there are some basics you need to know first.

Set up our first Print Format with Betterprint

Create a new Print Format and Check "Custom Format". This will reveal a new Checkbox, "Generate PDF using Frappe Betterprint".

Enabling Frappe Betterprint will enable various defaults:

• Preview will be rendered in Pages with automatic page breakes

• PDF generation by Chromium based renderer

• Enable dynamic header & footer

Make sure to check both of these aswell as wkhtmltopdf as pdf gernatetor (important!):

Time to add some content

Frappe Betterprint is based on Jinja Print formats with modern CSS support and dynamic header and footer.

Frappes repeated header & footer won't work in Frappe Betterprint. In order to add header & footer, please refere to dynamic header & footer article in the docs
