PDF Multipage Viewer Example
A Qt Quick PDF viewer that allows scrolling through the pages.
PDF Multipage Viewer demonstrates how to use the PdfMultiPageView component to render PDF documents and search for text in them.
Running the Example
To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.
Creating the Main Window
Instantiate an ApplicationWindow, bind its title to the title of the PDF document, and create a toolbar:
ApplicationWindow { id: root width: 800 height: 1024 color: "lightgrey" title: doc.title visible: true property string source // for main.cpp header: ToolBar { RowLayout { anchors.fill: parent anchors.rightMargin: 6
The toolbar has buttons for most of the common actions:
ToolButton { action: Action { shortcut: StandardKey.Open icon.source: "qrc:/multipage/resources/document-open.svg" onTriggered: fileDialog.open() } } ToolButton { action: Action { shortcut: StandardKey.ZoomIn enabled: view.renderScale < 10 icon.source: "qrc:/multipage/resources/zoom-in.svg" onTriggered: view.renderScale *= Math.sqrt(2) } } ToolButton { action: Action { shortcut: StandardKey.ZoomOut
Declare a PdfDocument and bind the status property and passwordRequired signal to inform the user when an error occurs or a password is required:
Dialog { id: passwordDialog title: "Password" standardButtons: Dialog.Ok | Dialog.Cancel modal: true closePolicy: Popup.CloseOnEscape anchors.centerIn: parent width: 300 contentItem: TextField { id: passwordField placeholderText: qsTr("Please provide the password") echoMode: TextInput.Password width: parent.width onAccepted: passwordDialog.accept() } onOpened: passwordField.forceActiveFocus() onAccepted: doc.password = passwordField.text } Dialog { id: errorDialog title: "Error loading " + doc.source standardButtons: Dialog.Close modal: true closePolicy: Popup.CloseOnEscape anchors.centerIn: parent width: 300 visible: doc.status === PdfDocument.Error contentItem: Label { id: errorField text: doc.error } } PdfDocument { id: doc source: Qt.resolvedUrl(root.source) onPasswordRequired: passwordDialog.open() }
Add the main component, PdfMultiPageView:
PdfMultiPageView { id: view anchors.fill: parent anchors.leftMargin: sidebar.position * sidebar.width document: doc searchString: searchField.text onCurrentPageChanged: currentPageSB.value = view.currentPage + 1 } DropArea { anchors.fill: parent keys: ["text/uri-list"] onEntered: (drag) => { drag.accepted = (drag.proposedAction === Qt.MoveAction || drag.proposedAction === Qt.CopyAction) && drag.hasUrls && drag.urls[0].endsWith("pdf") } onDropped: (drop) => { doc.source = drop.urls[0] drop.acceptProposedAction() } }
A Drawer holds a ListView to show search results from the searchModel:
Drawer { id: sidebar edge: Qt.LeftEdge modal: false width: 300 y: root.header.height height: view.height dim: false clip: true TabBar { id: sidebarTabs x: -width rotation: -90 transformOrigin: Item.TopRight currentIndex: 2 // bookmarks by default TabButton { text: qsTr("Info") } TabButton { text: qsTr("Search Results") } TabButton { text: qsTr("Bookmarks") } TabButton { text: qsTr("Pages") } } GroupBox { anchors.fill: parent anchors.leftMargin: sidebarTabs.height StackLayout { anchors.fill: parent currentIndex: sidebarTabs.currentIndex component InfoField: TextInput { width: parent.width selectByMouse: true readOnly: true wrapMode: Text.WordWrap } Column { spacing: 6 width: parent.width - 6 Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Title") } InfoField { text: doc.title } Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Author") } InfoField { text: doc.author } Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Subject") } InfoField { text: doc.subject } Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Keywords") } InfoField { text: doc.keywords } Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Producer") } InfoField { text: doc.producer } Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Creator") } InfoField { text: doc.creator } Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Creation date") } InfoField { text: doc.creationDate } Label { font.bold: true; text: qsTr("Modification date") } InfoField { text: doc.modificationDate } } ListView { id: searchResultsList implicitHeight: parent.height model: view.searchModel currentIndex: view.searchModel.currentResult ScrollBar.vertical: ScrollBar { } delegate: ItemDelegate { id: resultDelegate required property int index required property int page required property string contextBefore required property string contextAfter width: parent ? parent.width : 0 RowLayout { anchors.fill: parent spacing: 0 Label { text: "Page " + (resultDelegate.page + 1) + ": " } Label { text: resultDelegate.contextBefore elide: Text.ElideLeft horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignRight Layout.fillWidth: true Layout.preferredWidth: parent.width / 2 } Label { font.bold: true text: view.searchString width: implicitWidth } Label { text: resultDelegate.contextAfter elide: Text.ElideRight Layout.fillWidth: true Layout.preferredWidth: parent.width / 2 } } highlighted: ListView.isCurrentItem onClicked: view.searchModel.currentResult = resultDelegate.index } } TreeView { id: bookmarksTree implicitHeight: parent.height implicitWidth: parent.width columnWidthProvider: function() { return width } delegate: TreeViewDelegate { required property int page required property point location required property real zoom onClicked: view.goToLocation(page, location, zoom) } model: PdfBookmarkModel { document: doc } ScrollBar.vertical: ScrollBar { } } GridView { id: thumbnailsView implicitWidth: parent.width implicitHeight: parent.height model: doc.pageModel cellWidth: width / 2 cellHeight: cellWidth + 10 delegate: Item { required property int index required property string label required property size pointSize width: thumbnailsView.cellWidth height: thumbnailsView.cellHeight Rectangle { id: paper width: image.width height: image.height x: (parent.width - width) / 2 y: (parent.height - height - pageNumber.height) / 2 PdfPageImage { id: image document: doc currentFrame: index asynchronous: true fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit property bool landscape: pointSize.width > pointSize.height width: landscape ? thumbnailsView.cellWidth - 6 : height * pointSize.width / pointSize.height height: landscape ? width * pointSize.height / pointSize.width : thumbnailsView.cellHeight - 14 sourceSize.width: width sourceSize.height: height } } Text { id: pageNumber anchors.bottom: parent.bottom anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter text: label } TapHandler { onTapped: view.goToPage(index) } } } } } }
Finally, add a second toolbar as a footer, to hold the search field, search up/down buttons and some status information:
footer: ToolBar { height: footerRow.implicitHeight + 6 RowLayout { id: footerRow anchors.fill: parent ToolButton { action: Action { id: sidebarOpenAction checkable: true checked: sidebar.opened icon.source: checked ? "qrc:/multipage/resources/sidebar-collapse-left.svg" : "qrc:/multipage/resources/sidebar-expand-left.svg" onTriggered: sidebar.open() } ToolTip.visible: enabled && hovered ToolTip.delay: 2000 ToolTip.text: "open sidebar" } ToolButton { action: Action { icon.source: "qrc:/multipage/resources/go-up-search.svg" shortcut: StandardKey.FindPrevious onTriggered: view.searchBack() } ToolTip.visible: enabled && hovered ToolTip.delay: 2000 ToolTip.text: "find previous" } TextField { id: searchField placeholderText: "search" Layout.minimumWidth: 150 Layout.fillWidth: true Layout.bottomMargin: 3 onAccepted: { sidebar.open() sidebarTabs.setCurrentIndex(1) } Image { visible: searchField.text !== "" source: "qrc:/multipage/resources/edit-clear.svg" sourceSize.height: searchField.height - 6 anchors { right: parent.right verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter margins: 3 } TapHandler { onTapped: searchField.clear() } } } ToolButton { action: Action { icon.source: "qrc:/multipage/resources/go-down-search.svg" shortcut: StandardKey.FindNext onTriggered: view.searchForward() } ToolTip.visible: enabled && hovered ToolTip.delay: 2000 ToolTip.text: "find next" } Label { id: statusLabel property size implicitPointSize: doc.pagePointSize(view.currentPage) text: "page " + (currentPageSB.value) + " of " + doc.pageCount + " scale " + view.renderScale.toFixed(2) + " original " + implicitPointSize.width.toFixed(1) + "x" + implicitPointSize.height.toFixed(1) + " pt" visible: doc.pageCount > 0 } } } }
