Creating a eBook/ePaper reader inside an application

[Momergil]

Start by finding something to display a PDF that you can incorporate into the project (consider the licenses also). Once you know how that works, and how to incorporate it into a simple Qt project, then you can start to ponder how to make its output appear inside a Qt widget.

Hmmm, no idea how to do the reader by myself? As I sad, it will still be better if I could create a pdf reader in my software rather than calling and external app.

So it's either poppler or parsing and rendering pdf files yourself. The project you mentioned in your original post only handled HTML and not PDF.

Hello wysota,

Well, I'm not sure if I understood what you sad, specially your comment that "The project you mentioned in your original post only handled HTML and not PDF.", since I explicitaly mentioned "pdf" in my post (4th text line).

You posted a link to a "Nokia post" which "uses QML which you don't want to use". So first you want to handle PDF and not HTML which makes the post totally irrelevant to your problem (regardless if it uses QML or smoke signals). Instead of worrying about what widgets to use, you should answer the question "how do I parse PDF files?"
