Issue while loading a PDF using ActiveX in Qt, CMake

Dharani Prasad

How to create an Qt application to open PDF files. I am trying to use ActiveQt\QAxWidgets to load a PDF file using Adobe PDF Reader. It works on the QMake project but not in the project which I'm trying to build in CMake. I am using Qt 5.12.9.

Is there any other working way to render a PDF file in Qt application, other than ActiveX?

Use Qt PDF module

@JoeCFD thanks, but it shows

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Pdf" with any of the following names: Qt5PdfConfig.cmake qt5pdf-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Pdf" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5Pdf_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Qt5Pdf" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. CMakeLists.txt:27 (find_package)

Use a newer version of Qt:
"Qt PDF C++ Classes
Renders pages from PDF documents. More...

This module was introduced in Qt 5.14."
