To load a PDF into a QPixmap in C++, you can use the Poppler library (which is already installed if you followed the previous answer). Here’s an example code:
#include <QApplication>
#include <QLabel>
#include <poppler-qt5.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
// Load PDF document
Poppler::Document* doc = Poppler::Document::load("path/to/your/pdf/file.pdf");
if (!doc || doc->isLocked()) {
qDebug() << "Error loading PDF";
return 1;
}
// Get first page of the document
Poppler::Page* page = doc->page(0);
if (!page) {
qDebug() << "Error getting page";
delete doc;
return 1;
}
// Render page to image
QImage image = page->renderToImage();
// Convert QImage to QPixmap and display it in a QLabel
QPixmap pixmap = QPixmap::fromImage(image);
QLabel label;
label.setPixmap(pixmap);
label.show();
// Clean up resources
delete page;
delete doc;
return app.exec();
}
In this example, we first load a PDF document using Poppler::Document::load()
method. Then we get the first page of the document using Poppler::Document::page()
method. We render this page to an image using Poppler::Page::renderToImage()
method. Finally, we convert this QImage to a QPixmap and display it in a QLabel.
Note that you need to link your project with the Poppler library by adding LIBS += -lpoppler-qt5
to your .pro file.
