[Interest] New open source PDF support library for Qt + serveral PDF applications

[Jakub Melka]

Hello Nyall,

yes, content rendered to QPainter is rendered as vector object (except 
images, of course). It is a big advantage - the rendering in the viewer 
has two stages - in the first stage, page content is being prepared as a 
vector graphics (this can be time consuming, because, for example, image 
decoding and color management can take time) and then prepared pages are 
rendered onto the widget (or the QPainter). So, zoom is very quick, 
because I just re-render prepared vector graphics.

Best regards,
Jakub Melka
