There is no direct way to do this.

@Either use the Poppler "here ":http://doc.qt.digia.com/qq/qq27-poppler.html

or

Use PdfWriter class like a paint device, read the contents of text file and write them to paint device using QPainter->drawText(...).@

hii
and also you can use QPrinter class.

It's fairly well documented but this is how I would do it?

This is just an off the top of my head, typed directly in rather than tried out attempt.

Assume that doc_content is a QString variable that contains an HTML formatted string, if it isn't HTML formatted you could load it with .setPlainText().

@QTextDocument doc;
doc.setHtml(doc_content);

QPrinter file;
file.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
file.setOutputFileName("myfile.pdf"); // better to use full path
doc.print(file);@

This isn't tested by me, so the capitalisation of the methods might not be right, but is should give an idea.
