The “Print as PDF “ option missing for modules like Opportunities, Cases, etc.
@suitecrm_team Are there any plans to add it?
Only the Core Team can comment…
In the meantime, here is an accepted solution to achieve the same:
Its not something I have tried but the pure Suite8 way of doing it would follow this guide here:
(the first bit at least), the follow up to that is to look at the accounts detailviewdefs.php and “copy” the recordaction section:
'recordActions' => [
'actions' => [
'print-as-pdf' => [
'key' => 'print-as-pdf',
'labelKey' => 'LBL_PRINT_AS_PDF',
'asyncProcess' => true,
'modes' => ['detail'],

Team should add an option in the SuiteCRM Admin panel to enable or disable PDF downloads per module. This would provide better control and flexibility over document access.
Yes, that seems to be fairly standard and sounds relatively simple to accomplish as well (since PDF lib, template builder, etc.) is already there.

If you are ok to work with non upgrade-safe changes, you can add something like this in your code:
$excludedModules = ['AOS_Contracts', 'AOS_Quotes', 'AOS_Invoices', 'Schedulers', 'OAuth2Clients', 'OAuthKeys', 'stic_Signatures', 'stic_Signers', 'stic_Signature_Log'];
if (!in_array($this->module, $excludedModules)){
$viewdefs[$this->module][$this->view]['templateMeta']['form']['buttons']['AOS_GENLET'] = array ('customCode' => '<input type="button" class="button" onClick="showPopup(\'pdf\');" value="{$APP.LBL_PRINT_AS_PDF}">');
require_once('modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/formLetter.php');
formLetter::DVPopupHtml($this->module);
}

Will this add PDF download option to other modules?
It does add the print pdf button to detail view of all non-excluded modules.
In the same repo you can find the code to add the button to list view. Let me know if you need it too.
This code for adding the button in the list view:
$excludedModules = ['stic_Signatures', 'stic_Signers', 'stic_Signature_Log'];
if(!in_array($this->seed->module_dir, $excludedModules)) {
$menuItems[] = $this->buildPDFLinkAndPopupHtml();
}
// END-Custom
This code for adding all enabled modules into “modules“ dropdown list of the PDF template module:
public static function loadTabModules()
{
global $app_list_strings;
// STIC-Custom 20250128 ART - Tracker Module
// https://github.com/SinergiaTIC/SinergiaCRM/pull/211
global $current_user;
// END STIC-Custom
include_once 'modules/MySettings/TabController.php';
$controller = new TabController();
$currentTabs = $controller->get_system_tabs();
// Modules to be excluded
$excludedModules = ['Home', 'Calendar'];
$modules = array();
foreach($currentTabs as $key => $mod){
if (!in_array($mod, $excludedModules)) {
$modules[$key] = (isset($app_list_strings['moduleList'][$key])) ? $app_list_strings['moduleList'][$key] : $key;
}
}
