Print PDF under Windows

[giusepped]

I would like to understand better the printing engine.
I would print a PDF under Windows: is it possible?

void MyPlot::printOut()
{
	 QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
 
	 printer.setOutputFileName(tr("diagrammasolare.pdf"));
 
         printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
         printer.setCreator("Solar Calc");
         printer.setOrientation(QPrinter::Landscape);
 
        QPrintDialog dialog(&printer);
        if ( dialog.exec() )
    {	
	QwtPlotPrintFilter filter;
//          if ( printer.colorMode() == QPrinter::GrayScale )
        {
            int options = QwtPlotPrintFilter::PrintAll;
            options &= ~QwtPlotPrintFilter::PrintBackground;
            options |= QwtPlotPrintFilter::PrintFrameWithScales;
            filter.setOptions(options);
        }
 
	print(printer,filter);
 
 
 
   }
}

void MyPlot::printOut()
{
	 QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
 
	 printer.setOutputFileName(tr("diagrammasolare.pdf"));
   
         printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat);
         printer.setCreator("Solar Calc");
         printer.setOrientation(QPrinter::Landscape);
	 
        QPrintDialog dialog(&printer);
        if ( dialog.exec() )
    {	
	QwtPlotPrintFilter filter;
//          if ( printer.colorMode() == QPrinter::GrayScale )
        {
            int options = QwtPlotPrintFilter::PrintAll;
            options &= ~QwtPlotPrintFilter::PrintBackground;
            options |= QwtPlotPrintFilter::PrintFrameWithScales;
            filter.setOptions(options);
        }

	print(printer,filter);



   }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

With this code, which is good under windows, I cannot get printing the pdf under windows.
No dialog shows up and the message
only native format supported is shown.

So, is it possible to print pdf under Windows?

Try using poppler bindings maybe?

Yes, it is possible, since I print PDFs in my programs on Windows all the time. What version of Qt are you using? I've used Qt 4.4 and 4.5 beta to generate them.

[giusepped]

me too, I have qt 4.4 on Windows, but always I get results as I wrote above....

May you attach some code I can test on my platform?
Thanks

I think the problem is that using the print dialog is not appropriate for pdf output, only for real printer. Printing pdf works for me, but I dont use a print dialog.
