Thanks for the announcement Jakub! I had a quick look at the repo and I'm very happy to see that your library supports rendering PDF content directly to a QPainter. That's something I've loooong desired! One quick question regarding this: is content rendered to QPainter devices as vector objects? Or is the PDF content rasterised and the drawn as images to the painter?
