      QStringList arguments;
      arguments << "-f 1 a.pdf out.txt"; // argument that take
      //arguments << "-f 1 \"D:/a.pdf\" \"D:/out.txt\"; // i try this first 
    
      QProcess *myProcess = new QProcess(this);
      myProcess->start(program, arguments);
      qDebug() << myProcess->errorString();

      Hi,

      arguments is a QStringList, each element of your arguments must be added one by one to that string list.
