read pdf with qt

[iskenderoguz]

I used poppler to read pdf in my qt app. I want to merge poppler source code with my own source code because I do not to load any libraries. But poppler has thousands of c and h files and I can not achieve this. I always get errors when compile project. I want to only read pdf in my app nothing more. Is there any simple library for this? Or can I do this with qt?

Thanks.

You could just build Poppler with static libraries and link against these rather than the dynamic libraries.

I compiled poppler statically. I added poppler library to my pro file:

When I add .so file my app works. But if I add .a file my app does not work.

LIBS += /usr/lib/libpoppler-qt4.a

LIBS += /usr/lib/libpoppler-qt4.a
