Pagination of a QTextDocument

[akinakinyilmaz]

Hello I have a QTextDocument which is printed as a multiple page document when I print it to a pdf file :

@QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
printer.setOutputFileName(fileName);
printer.setPaperSize(QPrinter::A4);
doc->print(&printer);@

doc is my QTextDocument and when I want to display it in a QTextEdit it shows it in a continuous fashion, not in seperate pages.
@
QTextEdit* displayArea = new QTextEdit;
displayArea->setDocument(document);@

What should I do, if I want my QTextDocument to be shown in different QTextEdits per page or are there any method for displaying each page of my QTextDocument seperately like in printed pdf?

Actually, it can be done with 2 ways :

1. We can seperate documents by hand and then can give each page to one qtextedit for displaying, when printing we can print with painter :
   @ QPainter painter;
   painter.begin(&printer);
   docs[0]->drawContents(&painter);
   printer.newPage();
   docs[1]->drawContents(&painter);
   painter.end();@

here doc[0] is document of first text edit.
2. We can take all document and we can have a paginated view with QPrintPreviewDialog :
printPreview will open the dialog :
@void OurWidget::printPreview()
{
QPrinter printer(QPrinter::ScreenResolution);
QPrintPreviewDialog preview(&printer, this);
preview.setMinimumSize(1000,800);
connect(&preview, SIGNAL(paintRequested(QPrinter*)), SLOT(preview(QPrinter*)));
preview.exec();
}@
and preview is paint function of print preview widget :
@void OurWidget::preview(QPrinter *printer)
{
doc->print(printer);
}@

here doc is a full document.
