Detailed Description

QPdfView is a PDF viewer widget that offers a user experience similar to many common PDF viewer applications, with two modes. In the MultiPage mode, it supports flicking through the pages in the entire document, with narrow gaps between the page images. In the SinglePage mode, it shows one page at a time.

Property Documentation

[since 6.6] currentSearchResultIndex : int

If this property is set to a positive number, and searchModel is set, QPdfView draws a frame around the search result provided by QPdfSearchModel at the given index. For example, if QPdfSearchModel is used as the model for a QListView, you can keep this property updated by connecting QItemSelectionModel::currentChanged() from QListView::selectionModel() to a function that will in turn call this function.

By default it is -1, so that no search results are framed.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.6.

Access functions:

int currentSearchResultIndex() const
void setCurrentSearchResultIndex(int currentResult)

Notifier signal:

void currentSearchResultIndexChanged(int currentResult)

document : QPdfDocument*

This property holds the document to be viewed.

Access functions:

QPdfDocument *document() const
void setDocument(QPdfDocument *document)

Notifier signal:

void documentChanged(QPdfDocument *document)

documentMargins : QMargins

This property holds the margins around the page view.

Access functions:

QMargins documentMargins() const
void setDocumentMargins(QMargins margins)

Notifier signal:

void documentMarginsChanged(QMargins documentMargins)

pageMode : PageMode

This property holds whether to show one page at a time, or all pages in the document. The default is SinglePage.

Access functions:

QPdfView::PageMode pageMode() const
void setPageMode(QPdfView::PageMode mode)

Notifier signal:

void pageModeChanged(QPdfView::PageMode pageMode)

pageSpacing : int

This property holds the size of the padding between pages in the MultiPage mode.

Access functions:

int pageSpacing() const
void setPageSpacing(int spacing)

Notifier signal:

void pageSpacingChanged(int pageSpacing)

[since 6.6] searchModel : QPdfSearchModel*

If this property is set, QPdfView draws highlight rectangles over the search results provided by QPdfSearchModel::resultsOnPage(). By default it is nullptr.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.6.

Access functions:

QPdfSearchModel *searchModel() const
void setSearchModel(QPdfSearchModel *searchModel)

Notifier signal:

void searchModelChanged(QPdfSearchModel *searchModel)

zoomFactor : qreal

This property holds the ratio of pixels to points. The default is 1, meaning one point (1/72 of an inch) equals 1 logical pixel.

Access functions:

qreal zoomFactor() const
void setZoomFactor(qreal factor)

Notifier signal:

void zoomFactorChanged(qreal zoomFactor)

zoomMode : ZoomMode

This property indicates whether to use a custom size for the page(s), or zoom them to fit to the view. The default is CustomZoom.

Access functions:

QPdfView::ZoomMode zoomMode() const
void setZoomMode(QPdfView::ZoomMode mode)

Notifier signal:

void zoomModeChanged(QPdfView::ZoomMode zoomMode)
