+ \title WebEngine Widgets Html2Pdf Example
+ \ingroup webengine-widgetexamples
+ \brief Converts web pages to PDF documents using Qt WebEngine
+
+ \image html2pdf-example.png
+
+ \e {Html2Pdf} demonstrates how to use Qt WebEngine to implement a
+ command-line application for converting web pages into PDF documents.
+
+ \include examples-run.qdocinc
+
+ \section1 The Conversion Process
+
+ In order to convert a web page into a PDF document we need to:
+
+ \list 1
+ \li Create a \l QWebEnginePage.
+ \li Tell the \l QWebEnginePage to begin loading the target URL and wait for it to finish.
+ \li Tell the \l QWebEnginePage to begin converting the loaded page into a PDF file and again wait for it to finish.
+ \li Once the conversion is finished, exit the program.
+ \endlist
+
+ This process is encapsulated in the \e {Html2PdfConverter} class:
+
+ \quotefromfile webenginewidgets/html2pdf/html2pdf.cpp
+ \skipto #include
+ \printuntil Html2PdfConverter
+ \printuntil /^\};/
+
+ In the constructor we create the \l QWebEnginePage and connect to its \l
+ QWebEnginePage::loadFinished and \l QWebEnginePage::pdfPrintingFinished
+ signals:
+
+ \skipto Html2PdfConverter::Html2PdfConverter
+ \printuntil /^\}/
+
+ The \c run() method will trigger the conversion process by asking \l
+ QWebEnginePage to start loading the target URL. We then enter the main event
+ loop:
+
+ \skipto Html2PdfConverter::run
+ \printuntil /^\}/
+
+ After the loading is finished we begin PDF generation. We ask the \l
+ QWebEnginePage::printToPdf method to write the output directly to disk:
+
+ \skipto Html2PdfConverter::loadFinished
+ \printuntil /^\}/
+
+ Once we receive the signal that the PDF conversion has finished, all that
+ remains is to report potential errors and exit the program:
+
+ \skipto Html2PdfConverter::pdfPrintingFinished
+ \printuntil /^\}/
+
+ \section1 The Main Function
+
+ Our \c main function is responsible for setting up a \l QApplication and
+ parsing command line arguments:
+
+ \skipto int main
+ \printuntil /^\}/
+
+ Note that to use Qt WebEngine Widgets we need to create a \l QApplication
+ and not a \l QCoreApplication, even though this is a command line
+ application.
