using QtWebkit headless in Qt GUI app

i need to use Qtwebkit functions in GUI application but i do not want to view the webkit in my GUI app. the main function is to render HTML to pdf . i know i can do it with QtWebkit headless.

Solution

  • Use QWebPage since it can work without displaying anything on the screen. Something like:

    QPrinter printer;
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
printer.setOutputFileName(fileName);

page->mainFrame->print(&printer);
