QPdfDocument and QPdfView : display PDF annotation and highlight

[removebeforeflight]

Hi,

I use QPdfView and QPdfDocument to display PDF files inside my application.

I would like to show text which is highlighted and possibily annotations who are in the PDF file. When I load a PDF file with annotations and highlighted text, the PDF is correctly rendered but annotation nor highlight are not showed.

I looked in the documentation and found the QPdfDocument's render function which take QPdfDocumentRenderOptions option which seems to fit my need. But its returns a QImage. I would like to render directly my PDF inside my QPdfView.

Is there any solution ?

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand, but, you probably have the same situation as in Render PDF Page with QtPDF with its text, in which case the answer is most likely "no, not with Qt".

Thank you for your response... very annoying !

you may need a pdf annotation app, such as Adobe Acrobat, Xodo, or Foxit. pctechtest

@yuanxin Or if your app is not commercial, check poppler out.
