See also QPdfDocument::metaData().
enum class QPdfDocument::PageModelRole
Roles in pageModel().
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QPdfDocument::PageModelRole::Label | Qt::UserRole | The page number to be used for display purposes (QString). |
QPdfDocument::PageModelRole::PointSize | 257 | The page size in points (1/72 of an inch) (QSizeF). |
enum class QPdfDocument::Status
This enum describes the current status of the document.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QPdfDocument::Status::Null | 0 | The initial status after the document has been created or after it has been closed. |
QPdfDocument::Status::Loading | 1 | The status after load() has been called and before the document is fully loaded. |
QPdfDocument::Status::Ready | 2 | The status when the document is fully loaded and its data can be accessed. |
QPdfDocument::Status::Unloading | 3 | The status after close() has been called on an open document. At this point the document is still valid and all its data can be accessed. |
QPdfDocument::Status::Error | 4 | The status after Loading, if loading has failed. |
See also QPdfDocument::status().
Property Documentation
[read-only] pageCount : const int
This property holds the number of pages in the loaded document or 0 if no document is loaded.
Access functions:
| int | pageCount() const |
Notifier signal:
| void | pageCountChanged(int pageCount) |
[read-only] pageModel : QAbstractListModel* const
This property holds an instance of QAbstractListModel to provide page-specific metadata, containing one row for each page in the document.
Access functions:
| QAbstractListModel * | pageModel() |
Notifier signal:
| void | pageModelChanged() |
See also QPdfDocument::PageModelRole.
password : QString
This property holds the document password.
If the document is protected by a password, the user must provide it, and the application must set this property. Otherwise, it's not needed.
Access functions:
| QString | password() const |
| void | setPassword(const QString &password) |
Notifier signal:
| void | passwordChanged() |
[read-only] status : const Status
This property holds the current status of the document.
Access functions:
| QPdfDocument::Status | status() const |
Notifier signal:
| void | statusChanged(QPdfDocument::Status status) |
Member Function Documentation
[explicit] QPdfDocument::QPdfDocument(QObject *parent)
Constructs a new document with parent object parent.
[override virtual noexcept] QPdfDocument::~QPdfDocument()
Destroys the document.
void QPdfDocument::close()
Closes the document.
QPdfDocument::Error QPdfDocument::error() const
Returns the type of error if status is Error, or NoError if there is no error.
[invokable] QPdfSelection QPdfDocument::getAllText(int page)
Returns all the text and its bounds on the given page.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
[invokable] QPdfSelection QPdfDocument::getSelection(int page, QPointF start, QPointF end)
Returns information about the text on the given page that can be found between the given start and end points, if any.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
[invokable] QPdfSelection QPdfDocument::getSelectionAtIndex(int page, int startIndex, int maxLength)
Returns information about the text on the given page that can be found beginning at the given startIndex with at most maxLength characters.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
void QPdfDocument::load(QIODevice *device)
Loads the document contents from device.
QPdfDocument::Error QPdfDocument::load(const QString &fileName)
Loads the document contents from fileName.
QVariant QPdfDocument::metaData(QPdfDocument::MetaDataField field) const
Returns the meta data of the document for the given field.
[invokable, since 6.6] int QPdfDocument::pageIndexForLabel(const QString &label)
Returns the index of the page that has the label, or -1 if not found.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
This function was introduced in Qt 6.6.
See also pageLabel().
[invokable] QString QPdfDocument::pageLabel(int page)
Returns the page number to be used for display purposes.
For example, a document may have multiple sections with different numbering. Perhaps the preface uses roman numerals, the body starts on page 1, and the appendix starts at A1. Whenever a PDF viewer shows a page number, to avoid confusing the user it should be the same "number" as is printed on the corner of the page, rather than the zero-based page index that we use in APIs (assuming the document author has made the page labels match the printed numbers).
If the document does not have custom page numbering, this function returns page + 1.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
See also pageIndexForLabel().
[invokable] QSizeF QPdfDocument::pagePointSize(int page) const
Returns the size of page page in points (1/72 of an inch).
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
QImage QPdfDocument::render(int page, QSize imageSize, QPdfDocumentRenderOptions renderOptions = QPdfDocumentRenderOptions())
Renders the page into a QImage of size imageSize according to the provided renderOptions.
Returns the rendered page or an empty image in case of an error.
Note: If the imageSize does not match the aspect ratio of the page in the PDF document, the page is rendered scaled, so that it covers the complete imageSize.
