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 \QWE Widgets we need to create a \l QApplication and not a \l QCoreApplication, even though this is a command line application. */
