    Description

      PDFium uses Skia: https://pdfium.googlesource.com/pdfium/+/master/core/fxge/skia/

      Maybe we could develop a new backend that uses QPainter instead. This way we could avoid bundling that chunk of code along with QtPDF.

      It came as a suggestion in a blog post comment: https://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/01/30/new-qtpdf-qtlabs-module/#comment-1198957
