How to Print a Scrollable Application Window as a Full PDF in Qt
-
I am working on a QML-based Qt application where I need to export the entire application window as a PDF. The window contains a scrollable area with dynamic content, but I’m facing challenges capturing all the content.
Previously, I attempted to use grabWindow(), but it only captures the visible portion of the window and not the entire scrollable content.
Here’s an overview of my implementation:
-
The main application is written in QML and has a ScrollView for displaying large content.
-
I am using a combination of QQuickWindow and C++ for generating the PDF using QPrinter and QPainter.
Could someone guide me on how to:
-
Capture the entire QML window, including all the content in the ScrollView, even the off-screen portions.
-
Save the captured content as a PDF.
Any code examples, suggestions, or references to similar use cases would be highly appreciated.
