l10n_ch_payment_slip OCRB font blurred in PIL generated slip

[nbessi]

@PCatinean I should add a new render using reportlab this week.
It was in the roadmap as PIL generate heavier and blurrier PDF. The choice of the renderer will be available in the company.

Nicolas

@nbessi let me know how I can contribute I would like to speed up the process if I can

[nbessi]

@PCatinean see #105 for a fix

[PCatinean]

@nbessi thank you for the ping

I have uninstalled personal modules inheriting this, uninstalled/installed this version and then update all

It seems to be generating empty pdf's for me, maybe I'm doing something wrong

[diezcode]

same here for me, empty pdf payment_slip

[yvaucher]

@diezcode @PCatinean can you tell us which version of reportlab you are using? BTW it might be better to tell about it in PR #105

[PCatinean]

@yvaucher mine is 3.0

[nbessi]

@PCatinean is your invoice validated.
Draft invoice should not print anything

[PCatinean]

@nbessi yes invoice is validated and has attached payment_slip objects

[nbessi]

@PCatinean I just updated to latest it seems to work fine

[diezcode]

what reportlab should be installed?
I use the newest reportlab version

[nbessi]

Any should work form 2.4 to latest

[nbessi]

Myabe there is a problem with ubuntu reportlab. Try install using pip and virtual env.
TrueType extention must be installed

[nbessi]

I confirmed the problem comes from the reprotlab proposed with Ubuntu.

[diezcode]

In my reportlab repository I don't have an font repository. How can i add fonts there? Can you give an zip ?

[diezcode]

I have installed the newest version of reportlab but PDF is empty again. Ubuntu 14.04 python 2.7

[PCatinean]

I uninstalled OS proposed library and installed through pip and got version 3.1.44 with python 2.6.7 and I still get empty pages

[nbessi]

@PCatinean in reportlab doc they said only python 2.7 and 3 are fully supported. that also weird that you can run version 8.0 of odoo on python 2.6 as it uses dict comprehention

[PCatinean]

@nbessi My apologies it is 2.7.6 not 2.6.7, I messed up.Maybe there is something else wrong in my instance but I tried both versions of reportlab to no avail, wish I knew how to debug this further...

[nbessi]

@PCatinean @diezcode if you run the code provided here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23769845/why-does-reportlab-3-0-save-an-empty-pdf and it zou have an empty pdf that means that your reportlab setting is broken . It seems that you need to install apt-get install libfreetype6-dev in Ubuntu to have font support required by OCRB

[nbessi]

Basically if PIL compile with all image support it should work:

[PCatinean]

@nbessi Indeed with the reportlab from the Ubuntu repository the test failed, I switched back to the pip one and the text came up in the small script even with this working, odoo restarted and l10n_ch_payment_slip upgraded it still generated two empty pages

I guess we have a mistery on our hands, feel free to join IRC if you are willing to pursue this and need faster feedback

[diezcode]

Same here
I tested it with the latest debian Package again. I installed all and imported an database dump local. The emptry pdf File still coming.
When I try to download it like here:

I download not a pdf , I download some other file .

When I print the invoice as pdf, I have no problem. It's only the PDF of the payment slip that is empty.

[nbessi]

@diezcode can you attatch the PDF. I'm starting to wonder if it is not a viewer problem ?

[nbessi]

@PCatinean @diezcode If you open the PDF I generate is it blank ?

[diezcode]

no , I see the slip at the bottom of the pdf

this is my : http://filebin.ca/1sr7uwR0RO6t/one_slip_per_page_from_invoice3.pdf

[PCatinean]

@nbessi I can see it both in the chrome pdf viewer as well as the standard ubuntu one

[diezcode]

When I test it with another Database dump that comes from another server. It shows me like this on the same server that the other pdf is empty :
http://filebin.ca/1srOqujf8NKj/one_slip_per_page_from_invoice7.pdf

[nbessi]

@diezcode I can read your pdf it is not empty

[PCatinean]

Same

[diezcode]

@nbessi yes I know but it is not right, with white background.

[PCatinean]

@diezcode that is an option you set from your company bvr settings, the boolean field insert background

[nbessi]

@PCatinean @diezcode no special char in this pdf...

[diezcode]

Problem solved, this was the problem:

Because of this input the payment_slip has showed empty. I changed all to "0.00" and it works now

[nbessi]

@PCatinean I know i'm sure that you have set bvr delta in company.
As we are in inch now they are all wrong

[nbessi]

@PCatinean If you put all to 0 value it should be fine.

I must change the label

[PCatinean]

@nbessi it seems diezcode nailed it, that was the root of the problem, all the coordinates were off because of the settings in the backend

[nbessi]

Sooo stu**** bug as we have inch all values are far too big
