Exporting a document to PDF

h1. Exporting a document to PDF

Found it very easy to convert a QTextDocument to PDF in Qt. And useful in scenarios like creating reports etc.

For example, Consider the following snippet,

 QString fileName = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, tr(&quot;Save File&amp;quot;),<br /> &quot;untitled&amp;quot;,tr(&quot;PDF Document ('''.pdf)&quot;));<br /> QPrinter printer;<br /> printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);<br /> printer.setOutputFileName(fileName);<br /> doc-&gt;print(&amp;printer); // doc is QTextDocument'''

We can use the printer class to print the document to a file : a pdf file.
