Added after 4 minutes:

QTextEdit from 4.3 onwards also has a convenience function QTextEdit::print(QPrinter *printer)
Use something like, (not tested)


QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
printer.setOutputFileName("print.ps");
QPainter painter;
painter.begin(&printer);
QTextEdit text;
text.setText("ur text here");
text.print(&printer);

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried like above code. I've passes .pdf instead of .ps file format. Though its generating file its not appending the text "ur text here inside the file.

If i go as per link, i've to draw text in my pdf file and i dont know when to create a new page, as the input text is dynamic for me. Please help.

Just tried a simple example...


void MainWindow::printPdf()
{
QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
printer.setOutputFileName("print.pdf");
ui->textEdit->print(&printer);
}

textEdit is a object in ui designer file mainWindow. Text edit is not a must. You can use QPainter or refer to the source of Qt to see how a QTextDocument is being used to print.
