QPdfwriter: how to switch to a new page when first page is completed?
-
Title is clear as question: starting from a txt file longer than a single page, I'd like to complete my file in a second page when first is done.
How can I use NewPage() in order to understand when first page is completed?@alsa From docs:
"The newPage() method can be used to create several pages."http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpdfwriter.html#details
So, after you reach end of page you call the method to initiate next page.
For more information please re-read.
Kind Regards,

How can I know when end of page has been reached?

@alsa That is more complicated and depends on for example on the font metrics etc. What exactly would you like to print? Simple text, rich text? Can you please post some of the code that's responsible for printing the data?

@alsa My solution would be to use QTextDocument - gather complete output, insert it to QTextDocument, set desired font etc. in the QTextDocument and use its built in method print(). This way you do not have to worry about pagination or anything else.
Please read about QTextDocument and associated classes - everything you need is there at hand.
Should you have any additional queries I would be happy to help.
