I finally got something to work using the QTextDocument and just concatenating all the html files together. I had 2 issues with the output. Hyperlinks don't work in the PDF (didn't really expect them to) and each page is essentially an image so my 200 Page PDF is like 40 MB in size. I am going to ditch this idea and move on to something else. Probably DOxygen->LaTeX->PDF solution.

Thanks
