SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents common, production-breaking mistakes when building Frappe Print Formats and generating PDFs, such as mixing Jinja with Report JS microtemplates or producing missing/incorrect PDF output due to wrong engine assumptions or asset handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Correct template engine selection: Uses Jinja for Jinja Print Formats and {%= %} microtemplate syntax for Report Print Formats, avoiding silent rendering failures.
  • Production-ready PDF generation guidance: Covers get_pdf, download_pdf, letter head rendering, PDF engine selection (wkhtmltopdf vs chrome), and print layout controls (page breaks, print CSS).
  • Performance and rendering guardrails: Avoids N+1 query patterns in templates and provides best practices for images, absolute URLs, and HTML safety (| safe).
  • Use Case: You need a Sales Invoice PDF that includes a customized letter head, consistent page numbering, and reliable table pagination across v14–v16; follow this Skill to configure the right print format type and template syntax.

Quick Start

Ask for a Frappe Sales Invoice Print Format template that includes letter head and page breaks for Frappe v16, ensuring the correct Jinja or {%= %} syntax for the chosen print format type.
