Unless that changed recently, Qt PDF is built from QtWebEngine sources. It 
uses PDFium which comes bundled with Chromium, and the same PDFium sources 
are also used to support printing in QtWebEngine (because Chromium only 
prints to PDF, so PDFium is used to render the result to a bitmap that can 
be sent to a QPrinter).
