1. Method for manufacturing floor panels; said floor panels having an upper surface and at least comprising: a printed decor extending over a substantial part of said upper surface; anda top layer on the basis of synthetic material;a substrate whereupon said printed decor and said top layer are provided; said substrate having at least two opposite edges along the upper surface; whereinsaid floor panels are manufactured starting from boards; said boards at least comprising said substrate; wherein said method at least comprises the step of providing said floor panels with a final relief; said step at least including a first press treatment and a second press treatment; said first press treatment providing a first relief in said upper surface; said first relief comprising embossments extending exclusively in said top layer; said second press treatment providing a second relief in said upper surface; said second relief comprising embossed portions which continue up into the aforementioned substrate;wherein the first and second press treatments are performed separately from one another;wherein the printed decor is applied to the upper surface and extends to the at least two opposite edges before the second relief is applied;wherein the printed decor continuously extends over and along the embossed portions of the second relief so as to follow the contours of the embossed portions. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said second press treatment is performed after said first press treatment. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said substantial part of said upper surface over which said decor extends comprises said embossed portions of said second relief. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said floor panels are of the Direct Pressure Laminate (DPL) type and wherein during said first press treatment said top layer is provided on said substrate. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said second press treatment is a heated press treatment. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said second relief includes embossed portions forming a sunk edge area located at least at one of said two opposite edges. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein said sunk edge area comprises a sloping portion. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein said sunk edge area comprises a sloping bent portion. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said substrate consists of MDF or HDF. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said substrate comprises a compacted region located at said embossed portions of said second relief. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said substrate comprises locations without embossments; said compacted region being compacted more than said locations without embossments. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein said compacted region is compacted more than 1%. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein said floor panels have a lower surface; said substrate adjacent said lower surface being undeformed. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein said synthetic material is a thermo-setting resin. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein said top layer has a nominal thickness D3 and said embossed portions of said second relief have a depth D2; said depth D2 being larger than said nominal thickness D3 of said top layer. 16. The method of claim 2, wherein said substantial part of said upper surface over which said decor extends comprises said embossed portions of said second relief. 17. The method of claim 2, wherein said floor panels are of the Direct Pressure Laminate (DPL) type and wherein during said first press treatment said top layer is provided on said substrate. 18. The method of claim 2, wherein said second press treatment is a heated press treatment. 19. The method of claim 2, wherein said second relief includes embossed portions forming a sunk edge area located at least at one of said two opposite edges. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein said sunk edge area comprises a sloping portion. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein said sunk edge area comprises a sloping bent portion. 22. The method of claim 2, wherein said substrate consists of MDF or HDF. 23. The method of claim 2, wherein said substrate comprises a compacted region located at said embossed portions of said second relief. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein said substrate comprises locations without embossments; said compacted region being compacted more than said locations without embossments. 25. The method of claim 23, wherein said compacted region is compacted more than 1%. 26. The method of claim 23, wherein said floor panels have a lower surface; said substrate adjacent said lower surface being undeformed. 27. The method of claim 23, wherein said synthetic material is a thermo-setting resin. 28. The method of claim 2, wherein said top layer has a nominal thickness D3 and said embossed portions of said second relief have a depth D2; said depth D2 being larger than said nominal thickness D3 of said top layer. 29. Method for manufacturing floor panels; said floor panels having an upper surface and at least comprising: a printed decor extending over a substantial part of said upper surface; anda top layer on the basis of synthetic material;a substrate whereupon said printed decor and said top layer are provided; said substrate having at least two opposite edges along the upper surface; whereinsaid floor panels are manufactured starting from boards; said boards at least comprising said substrate; wherein said method at least comprises the step of applying the printed decor on the substrate with the printed decor extending to the opposite edges and then providing said floor panels with a final relief; said step at least including a first press treatment and a second press treatment; said first press treatment providing a first relief in said upper surface; said first relief comprising embossments extending exclusively in said top layer; said second press treatment providing a second relief in said upper surface; said second relief comprising embossed portions which continue up into the aforementioned substrate;wherein the first and second press treatments are performed separately from one another;wherein the printed decor continuously extends over and along the embossed portions of the second relief so as to follow the contours of the embossed portions. 30. Method for manufacturing floor panels; said floor panels having an upper surface and at least comprising: a printed decor extending over a substantial part of said upper surface; anda top layer on the basis of synthetic material;a substrate whereupon said printed decor and said top layer are provided; said substrate having at least two opposite edges; whereinsaid floor panels are manufactured starting from boards; said boards at least comprising said substrate; wherein said method at least comprises the step of providing said floor panels with a final relief; said step at least including a first press treatment and a second press treatment; said first press treatment providing a first relief in said upper surface; said first relief comprising embossments extending exclusively in said top layer; said second press treatment providing a second relief in said upper surface; said second relief comprising embossed portions which continue up into the aforementioned substrate;wherein the first and second press treatments are performed separately from one another;wherein the printed decor continuously extends over and along the embossed portions so as to follow the contours of the embossed portions;wherein said substrate comprises a compacted region located at said embossed portions of said second relief;wherein said compacted region is compacted more than 1%.
