[SOLVED] Using QPainter to Import JPG for PDF Report

[KaptainKarl]

Qt Version: 5.3.1
OS: CentOS 6.5

I'm attempting to create a PDF report using QPainter.
This seems to work better than using QTextDocument.
However, I am faced with an issue involving certain graphics files when I attempt to load them.

I have a JPEG file that contains a company logo (attached). When loaded in the GNOME image viewer, the tool indicates the image is 170 pixels x 80 pixels.

I have attempted to use QPixmap and QImage as the mechanism for loading and putting the image into the QPainter object that then dump to PDF.

Here is the issue:
The QPixmap method produces an image that is extremely small in the PDF file. If I attempt to scale it up, the image quality becomes very poor.
The QImage method produces no image in the PDF file.

Here is the code:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPdfWriter>
#include <QPainter>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
   QPdfWriter pdfWriter("my.pdf");
   QPainter painter(&pdfWriter);
   quint32 iYPos = 10;
 
   QPixmap pxPic;
   pxPic.load("/usr/local/SMART/public_html/images/logo.jpg", "JPG");
   painter.drawPixmap(0, iYPos, pxPic.width(), pxPic.height(), pxPic);
   iYPos += pxPic.height() + 250;
 
   QImage imgPic;
   imgPic.load("/usr/local/SMART/public_html/images/logo.jpg", "JPG");
   painter.drawImage(0, iYPos, imgPic, imgPic.width(), imgPic.height());
 
   return 0;
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPdfWriter>
#include <QPainter>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   QApplication a(argc, argv);

   QPdfWriter pdfWriter("my.pdf");
   QPainter painter(&pdfWriter);
   quint32 iYPos = 10;

   QPixmap pxPic;
   pxPic.load("/usr/local/SMART/public_html/images/logo.jpg", "JPG");
   painter.drawPixmap(0, iYPos, pxPic.width(), pxPic.height(), pxPic);
   iYPos += pxPic.height() + 250;

   QImage imgPic;
   imgPic.load("/usr/local/SMART/public_html/images/logo.jpg", "JPG");
   painter.drawImage(0, iYPos, imgPic, imgPic.width(), imgPic.height());

   return 0;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I would appreciate any input as to how to make this work.
