Features

  • Almost infinite zooming thanks to tile-based rendering and caching

  • Magnifier glass

  • Printing functionality, directly to cups or via Qt/QPrinter

  • Can display pages originating from different documents at the same time

  • Can show the difference between pages that are almost the same via color composition

  • And much more! And…all classes are extendable and heavily customizable, so it is easy to inherit and add any functionality you want.
