Usage

An example of Fill PDF report for partners on a module called module_name:

A python class

from odoo import models

class PartnerFillPDF(models.AbstractModel):
    _name = 'report.module_name.report_name'
    _inherit = 'report.report_fillpdf.abstract'

    @api.model
    def get_original_document_path(self, data, objs):
        return get_resource_path(
            'report_fillpdf', 'static/src/pdf', 'partner_pdf.pdf')

    @api.model
    def get_document_values(self, data, objs):
        objs.ensure_one()
        return {'name': objs.name}

A computed form can be executed modifying the computing function

from odoo import models

class PartnerFillPDF(models.AbstractModel):
    _name = 'report.module_name.report_name'
    _inherit = 'report.report_fillpdf.abstract'

    @api.model
    def get_form(self, data, objs):
        return self.env['ir.attachment'].search([], limit=1)

    @api.model
    def get_document_values(self, data, objs):
        objs.ensure_one()
        return {'name': objs.name}
