The \l QPdfDocument class loads a PDF document + and renders pages from it according to the options provided by + the \l QPdfDocumentRenderOptions class. The \l QPdfPageRenderer + class manages a queue that collects all render requests. The + \l QPdfPageNavigator class handles the navigation through a + PDF document. The \l QPdfSearchModel class searches for a string + and holds the search results. The QPdfBookmarkModel class holds the + table of contents, if present. The QPdfLinkModel holds information + about hyperlinks on a page. The \l QPdfView widget is a complete + PDF viewer, and the \l {PDF Viewer Widget Example} shows how to use it. + + For Qt Quick applications, three kinds of full-featured viewer + components are provided. \l PdfMultiPageView should be your + first choice for the most common user experience: flicking + through the pages in the entire document. + \l PdfScrollablePageView shows one page at a time, with scrolling; + and \l PdfPageView shows one full page at a time, without scrolling. + + The full-featured viewer components are composed of lower-level + QML components that can be used separately if you need to write a + more customized PDF viewing application: \l PdfDocument, + \l PdfPageImage, \l PdfPageNavigator, \l PdfSelection, + \l PdfSearchModel, \l PdfLinkModel, and \l PdfBookmarkModel. + + If you only need to render page images, without features such as + text selection, search and navigation, this module includes a + \l QImageIOHandler plugin that treats PDF as a scalable + \l {Qt Image Formats}{image format}, similar to \l {Qt SVG}{SVG}. + You can simply use \l Image, and set the + \l {Image::currentFrame}{currentFrame} property to the page index + that you wish to display. If the PDF file does not render its own + background, the image has a transparent background. + + \include module-use.qdocinc using qt module + \quotefile qtpdf-build.cmake + + See also the \l{Build with CMake} overview. + + \section2 Building with qmake + + To link against the module, add this line to your qmake project file: + + \snippet qtpdf_build_snippet.qdoc 0 + + \section1 Examples + + \list + \li \l{Qt PDF Examples} + \endlist + + \section1 API Reference + + \list + \li \l{Qt PDF C++ Classes} + \li \l{Qt Quick PDF QML Types} + \endlist + + \section1 Articles and Guides + \list + \li {Qt PDF Platform Notes} {Platform Notes} + \endlist + + \section1 Licenses and Attributions + + Qt PDF is available under commercial licenses from \l{The Qt Company}. + In addition, it is available under the + \l{GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3}, or + the \l{GNU General Public License, version 2}. + See \l{Qt PDF Licensing} for further details about this module. +*/ |
