[Qt-interest] Printing a (local) webpage with images

[Jason H]

I believe QTextDocument will do what you want.

Try to break it down, make sure it isn't a timing issue. What is missing? jpgs? 
GIFs? 

Maybe enlarge the size of the cache?

Subject: [Qt-interest] Printing a (local) webpage with images

Hi all, 

I'm trying to print a webpage. The problem is (at least from my understanding) 
this fact: 

[see QWebFrame::setContent]
The data is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.

If I print the page directly like this: 

QWebView *view = ...;
view->setHtml(... /* a QString containing some <img src="file://..."> tags*/);
QPrinter printer;
printer.setPageMargins(20,5,5,5,QPrinter::Millimeter);
printer.setOutputFileName(pdfFileName);
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
printer.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
view.print(&printer);

in some cases some images are missing on the pdf. Thus I assume the problem is 
the above sentence. Even waiting for the "void loadFinished(bool ok)" signal 
does not solve my problem. 

I there a way to ensure all external objects in the page are loaded and the 
document is ready for printout? 

Thanks!

Mathias
