I'd suggest that you start using some PDF validator in your tests as produced PDFs are still not valid. Thanks though for all the other work.
Thanks for your feedback. Could you create a Jira ticket about this issue (with details how to reproduce etc.)?
Did you write a bug report yet? This is about PDF printing, right? We'll need more details.
No bug report yet, it was assigned to a junior dev for analysis and we'll see if we'll provide a minimum sample or backtrack the problem or what.
I've got an update, seems like that our code contained for a long time a bug where in some situations an invalid color was used for a pen. With previous implementations it produced a valid PDF while now it can't be displayed in Adobe Reader while Google Chrome displays it normally. Anyway we fixed the problem and it seems ok now. So sorry for the false alarm and thanks.
Apparently the ffmpeg libraries are missing in the prebuilt Qt binaries for iOS. QTBUG-133399
Secondly, I would much rather use the native plugins without having to ship ffmpeg libraries. That's not possible with QMake projects on iOS. And on iOS, unlike Android, CMake is not an alternative to QMake.
edit 2025-02-11: bug is fixed. see QTBUG-133399 did a fresh install of 6.8.2 and ios ffmpeg libraries are now included :)
