Question

I Trying print Html using qwebenginepage but not working i searched a lot to resolve this problem but didn't found the answer .

i was use QTextBrowser But when print it change style of page so i trying with qwebenginepage

QWebEnginePage *view = new QWebEnginePage;
QFile file("/home/hackerpoint/Desktop/some.html");
if(file.open(QIODevice::Text | QIODevice::ReadOnly)){
    QString html = file.readAll();
    QPrinter print(QPrinter::HighResolution);
    print.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
    print.setFullPage(true);
    print.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
    print.setOutputFileName("somefile.pdf");
    view->setHtml(html);
    if(&QWebEnginePage::loadFinished){
        view->print(&print , [=](bool){});
    }
    else {
        qInfo() << "Html Not loaded";
    }
}

and this the error

Answer 1

You are confusing concepts: loadFinished is a signal and doing if(&QWebEnginePage::loadFinished) does not make sense (I recommend you review the basic concepts of signals and slots since it is the basis of Qt: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html).

On the other hand, it is not necessary to load the html as a file since you can pass it a url.

Considering the above, the following code is a trivial example of how to print:

#include <QtWebEngineWidgets>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QWebEnginePage page;
    QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
    printer.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
    printer.setFullPage(true);
    printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
    printer.setOutputFileName("somefile.pdf");
    QObject::connect(&page, &QWebEnginePage::loadFinished, [&page, &printer](bool ok){
        if(ok){
            page.print(&printer, [](bool ok){
                qDebug() << "printed " << ok;
                QCoreApplication::quit();
            });
        }
        else{
            qDebug() << "Html Not loaded";
            QCoreApplication::exit(-1);
        }
    });
    page.load(QUrl::fromLocalFile("/home/hackerpoint/Desktop/some.html"));
    return a.exec();
}
