    Hello!... i need to create a very simple pdf viewer... i know there are some alternatives as:

    QWebView and QWebEngine (rendering pdf over a browser)
    Qaxwidget (with activeX COM acrobat plugin)
    QPDF (i guess is paid right now)

    Actually i'm using a rustic way via QTextEdit exporting and reading my content as html markdown source, but i think PDF reading is more popular and universal... i would like to try it first..

    i tried to use Qaxwidget, but i dont know where to find the module as issue qt creator tab tells me that it is unknown (axcontainer)

    Any suggestion?
    thanks.

        Hi,

        If GPL is a valid option then QtPDF.

        Otherwise, Qt 5 Poppler might also be a solution.
