I use the QWebView
(python 3.3 + pyside 1.1.2 + Qt 4.8) as FileViewer. Picture, Text, HTML, ... all fine, but PDF has a display problem. I tested two possible ways.
- internal pdf viewer: after use
webview.load(file)
it loads, but the screen is blank, after loading another file, all works fine, it shows the file - pdf.js: after use
setContent()
with filebase, it loads the webviewer.html/.js with a white page and the loading circle. The screen only refresh if I resize the form or use the scrollbars, but then all is fine
I don't find an event for "plugin/javascript finished loading", so I could force a repaint or so. Here an example code for case 1:
import sys
from PySide import QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit #@UnusedWildImport
class DialogTest(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(DialogTest, self).__init__(parent)
self.resize(620, 600)
self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose)
self.PreviewBox = QtWebKit.QWebView()
self.PreviewBox.settings().setAttribute(QtWebKit.QWebSettings.PluginsEnabled, True)
self.PreviewBox.settings().setAttribute(QtWebKit.QWebSettings.WebAttribute.DeveloperExtrasEnabled, True)
self.PreviewBox.settings().setAttribute(QtWebKit.QWebSettings.PrivateBrowsingEnabled, True)
self.PreviewBox.settings().setAttribute(QtWebKit.QWebSettings.LocalContentCanAccessRemoteUrls, True)
self.PreviewBox.loadFinished.connect(self._loadfinished)
self.button_test1 = QtGui.QPushButton("File 1")
self.button_test1.clicked.connect(self._onselect1)
self.button_test2 = QtGui.QPushButton("File 2")
self.button_test2.clicked.connect(self._onselect2)
layout_Buttons = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
layout_Buttons.addWidget(self.button_test1)
#layout_Buttons.addStretch()
layout_Buttons.addWidget(self.button_test2)
layout_Main = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
layout_Main.addLayout(layout_Buttons)
layout_Main.addWidget(self.PreviewBox)
self.setLayout(layout_Main)
def Execute(self):
self.show()
self.exec_()
def _onselect1(self):
self.PreviewBox.load(QtCore.QUrl().fromLocalFile("c:\\tmp\\test1.pdf"))
def _onselect2(self):
self.PreviewBox.load(QtCore.QUrl().fromLocalFile("c:\\tmp\\test2.pdf"))
def _loadfinished(self, ok):
#self.PreviewBox.repaint()
pass
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
DialogTest().Execute()
Edit: Workaround Case 1 (webkit plugin) has an otherbug, it takes the focus to itself, so this solution isn't acceptable to me. I played with the pdf.js again and found a workaroud:
self.PreviewBox.setHtml(content, baseUrl = QtCore.QUrl().fromLocalFile(path))
self.PreviewBox.hide()
QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(700, self.PreviewBox.show)
The hide()
must be after the content filling and the timer haven't to be too low.
