Bulding a PDF Plugin for qtWebKit using poppler

[qt-liviu]

Hi All,

This is my first post in QtC :)

I would like to build a plugin for qtWebkit using poppler library to render PDF files inside of a web browser.
Some questions for you:

1) Is anybody working on a similar project or is anything like this implemented yet?
2) How would you suggest to implement a plugin like this? Any external qtwebkit plugin-examples that might help me for this task?

Any feedback is much appreciated.


Thanks You !
Liviu

Hi Liviu,

Have you gotten anywhere on this over the last two years?

I'm actually working on something similar. I've got a very simple test case working where it shows the pdf embeded in QtWebkit based browser. My current problem is it appears to use my custom plugin only when the website embeds it's pdf using the <object> tag. If it uses the <embed> or <iframe> tags, it will not use my plugin.
