/** @mainpage The Poppler Qt4 interface library The Poppler Qt4 interface library, libpoppler-qt4, is a library that allows Qt4 programmers to easily load and render PDF files. The Poppler Qt4 interface library uses poppler internally to do its job, but the Qt4 programmer will never have to worry about poppler internals. @section help Current Status At the time this document was written (December '05) the Poppler Qt4 interface library was still somewhat experimental. From the two rendering engines offered by the library, only the splash engine works well and has been tested. @section refimpl Example Programs Examples programs can be found in the qt4/test directory. The poppler Qt4 interface library is also used in the development version of KDE's document viewer okular. The source files for okular's PDF plugin can be found on the subversion server of the KDE project, under this URL. @section req How to use the Poppler Qt4 interface library in three easy steps Programmer who would like to use the Poppler Qt4 interface library simply need to add the following line to their C++ source files: @code #include @endcode A PDF document can then be loaded as follows: @code QString filename; Poppler::Document* document = Poppler::Document::load(filename.ascii()); if (!document || document->isLocked()) { // ... error message .... delete document; return; } @endcode Pages can be rendered to QImages with the following commands: @code // Paranoid safety check if (document == 0) { // ... error message ... return; } // Access page of the PDF file Poppler::Page* pdfPage = document->page(pageNumber); // Document starts at page 0 if (pdfPage == 0) { // ... error message ... return; } // Generate a QImage of the rendered page QImage image = pdfPage->renderToImage(xres, yres, x, y, width, height); if (image.isNull()) { // ... error message ... return; } // ... use image ... @endcode Finally, don't forget to destroy the document: @code delete document; @endcode */
