You may be out of luck on that, unless I'm mistaken QtWebEngine is based on
the Chrome/Chromium code-base and that one has dropped nsapi support (
http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-our-old-friend-npapi.html).
That being said more recent versions of Chromium seem to include the
pdf-plugin that was originally done for Google Chrome, so it may be just a
matter of getting that part built and included (no idea which chromium
version QtWebEngine uses right now).
