    Hi, it seems to be 2 slashes after D:, maybe try
    ``const QString filename("`D:/Programme/QT/MeineProjekte/Projekt/test.pdf");```

          hi
          Its same concept.
          Just use
          painter2.drawPixmap instead of drawText

                @drich said in Create and write into a PDF File:

                painter.end();
                painter.drawPixmap (C:\User\Downloads\logo.png);

                I guess

                painter.end();
                

                should be last line and

                painter.drawPixmap (C:\User\Downloads\logo.png);
                

                is not valid C++. Should be:

                painter.drawPixmap ("C:/User/Downloads/logo.png");

                        drawPixmap was underlined and it note "Too few arguments"

                            @drich That means that you passed too few arguments to the method. Please refer to the documentation I linked in one of my previous posts - in that webpage together with a quite detailed overview on how to use QPainter there is also a list of the methods provided. You will see that QPainter::drawPixmap comes in many variants with different arguments list so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
                            It seems to me that taking a look at Paint System would also bring you some significant benefits in terms of overall understanding how to accomplish what you aim for.

                              @drich I think that is because you have not had supplied a valid rectangle area which tells QPainter::drawText() where to draw. Please refer to the documentation I linked above to learn how to draw on widgets. It would be more helpful and consistent than explaining every detail in here.

                              For more information please re-read.
