Use external tools such as PDF2TXT or PDF2HTML or ActiveX (there are plugins for Adobe Acrobat that convert pdf into text). Qt3 doesn't support handling pdf documents in any way.

Nine years! That has to be some kind of record for waking a dormant thread.

The options wysota pointed out way back are still good although Qt3.3 is long retired.

Poppler (http://poppler.freedesktop.org/) is a common choice for reading PDF from C/C++ program code... There may even be a Qt-like wrapper for it. You can then do anything you like with the text objects. The problem is not as simple as it might appear: do you try to keep the text in roughly the correct layout or make it sequential stream?
