How to change the default header/footer in Odoo 8

PDF reports

You probably already know that you can customise the default Odoo header/footer by
changing the Company settings. However when you create a PDF report such as a sale,
quote or invoice you will find the header/footer remains unchanged.

The issue is that Quote/Sale orders do not use the Company-level report header/footer
configuration.

To edit the header and footer for Quote/Sale orders you need to edit the QWeb view. Here is
how to do this:

(1) Settings > Technical > User Interface > Views

(2) Search for “external”

(3) You will see report.external_layout, report.external_layout_header and
report.external_layout_footer

(4) Edit these views as appropriate to modify the PDF version of the Quote/Sales orders

Maybe this is obvious to others, but I couldn’t find any documentation explaining how this
works.
