    Hello there,

    I was looking for some Qt module related to PDF files and I just find some few functions related to the moment you want to print a file. My question is simple: Is there any way to handle PDF files using the Qt official API? If the answer is "no", PDF handling is on the route map for future versions?

    Thank you!

      I know that this isn't an official Qt module but I think you should take a look at "poppler":http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ if you are on Linux. It has a nice Qt integration and work well. At least is solved the problem for now :)

          Yeah, I did a simple PDF slide-shower in QtQuick using poppler :)

            But be aware - it's GPLed, this might influence the licensing of your own program (at least if you're on some commercial software development).

                Thank you for the warning. I'm a 100% GPL developer... so there's no issues about it for me :)
