Qt PDF

Qt PDF provides components for building PDF-viewing applications using QtQuick or Widgets.

• PdfMultiPageView is a view that allows flicking between pages
• PdfScrollablePageView is for viewing one page at a time
• an image plugin for the PDF format; thus a Qt Quick Image item can use a PDF file as the source, while Image.currentFrame sets the page number
• two complete QtQuick PDF viewer applications as examples: one using PdfMultiPageView and one using PdfScrollablePageView
• one widget-based PDF viewer example
• supported platforms: macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS
• supported Qt versions: 5.15 or newer
• Tech Preview status

Note: QtWebEngine build is disabled by user.

Note: The following modules are not being compiled in this configuration:
    webenginecore
    webengine
    webenginewidgets

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'. 
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'. 
Qt will be installed into '/usr'.

$ make && make install

First it builds tools if necessary (gn and ninja), then QtPDF. (If you don't give the -no-build-qtwebengine-core argument, it will spend a lot of time building QtWebEngine before building QtPDF.)

Examples are in examples/pdf and examples/pdfwidgets.
