I do not know the answer on non-visible XML. Print as white text?
Another solution is QPrinter which works well for creating PDFs from text and
images. Unfortunately QPrinter does not exist for iOS so I spent much time
implementing a native code version for iOS.
Personally I wish QPrinter PDF capability could be split out of QPrinter so
that devices that have no printer support could still create PDF reports and
email them.
QPrinter works well on Android, Linux, OS X, and Windows.
QPrinter printer(QPrinter::ScreenResolution);
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
printer.setOutputFileName(pdfFileName);
printer.setPageOrientation(QPageLayout::Landscape);
I am embarassed that I had not run accross QPdfWriter before. It sounds like I
could have used it on iOS but not sure if it handles text and html to PDF.
I need to read the complete list of Qt classes.

I'm wanting to embed content data in XML so that it is query-able by external
programs. As far as I can tell the QPdFWriter implementation we have is
primarily for rasterization. Is there a way in Qt to include non-visible XML?
Would it be a lot of work to add it if it does not exist? Unforunately, I'm
more familiar with HP/GL and PCL than PDFs.
And I'll even open this up to outside of QML. Has anyone on this list ever
tried it? I could generate our PDFs with Qt, then patch in via some external
program the XML into the PDF. That would be acceptable, but not ideal.
Many thanks in advance.
