The PDFPrinter class was created using some native classes from Qt, for example: QPrinter and QPainter.
The main objective of PDFPrinter is to make life easier for software developers who want to generate simple PDF documents. You don't need to bother in align the text on the page size, align or resize the images, or break a page, the PDFPrinter class does all of it for you.
