PODisplaying a pdf document within a PySide python application
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a python application using PySide, Qt and python. In my application I would like to open and display a pdf document, but have the viewer within the application and not using the default viewer on the operating system.</p> <p>I have not as of yet been able to find a widget which is capable of doing this or some example code. I have never used these tools before and this is my first Qt & PySide application so I am sure there is a widget which is capable of this but that I am just not aware of it.</p> <p>I found this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16315418/pdf-with-qwebview-missing-refresh-repaint-after-loading">post</a> and when I take the sample code I am unable to get any pdf to show and cannot replicate the behaviour of the poster, but I am using python 2.7.3, PySide 1.1.1 so perhaps this is why. The error that I get when trying to run the sample code in the other post is:</p> <p>QWebInspector: QSettings couldn't read configuration setting [resourceTrackingEnabled].</p> <p>and the pdfs I would like to render are saved locally, in the same directory as the the python script and not accessible via the web.</p> <p>Could somebody point me in the direction of some sample code or a Qt widget which I would be able to use to render a pdf?</p> <p>As an aside, I am not sure that it matters but the pdf will be generated using LaTeX.</p> <p>Edit --More information--</p> <p>The program has to run on both Windows and Mac OSX environments but it is just for a personal project which wont be distributed. Using PyQt is not an option as it is not compatible with the python editor that I use and PySide is the requirement. I have read the following <a href="http://qt-project.org/wiki/Handling_PDF" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a> but from what I understood under the Rendering section it said that the 3rd party libraries available worked with C, C++ and Qt not python or PySide but maybe I have misunderstood this?</p>
