Is there a simple way to add a working/clikable url into a pdf, using c++, qt and the qprinter class? To clarify it a little bit: I want to add the url during generating a new document. I’m not trying to edit an existing pdf.

    You can create a PDF with Qprinter using QTextDocument. QTextDocument has setHtml() method which lets you use html tags including <a> tag (<a href='http://www.google.com'>google</a>). After that, you can create PDF with that HTML using QTextDocument print() method.

    Code Example:

    QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
printer.setOutputFileName("out.pdf");

QTextDocument document;
QString html = "<a href='http://www.google.com'>google</a>";
document.setHtml(html);

document.print( &printer );

    After running this code you will have out.pdf file with a clickable text: “google” that links to “http://www.google.com”

    P.S. You could even add an image using <img> tag.
