+
+ \brief Renders pages from PDF documents.
+
+ The Qt PDF module contains classes and functions for rendering
+ PDF documents. 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.
