Why you expect an HTML rendering component to render PDF documents? You either 
need to launch an external app to handle them or perhaps make use of the 
poppler library and its qt bindings to display the pd fin your own app. I seem 
to remember a Qt quarterly article on this not so long ago so perhaps take a 
look there.
