Rendering PDF in PyQT5

[Justin Giffard]

Hi Olaf

Just checking in terms of your code. Are you displaying the actual PDF file
that's generated or are you displaying the original HTML? My current use is
I have generated a PDF with tables and barcodes and such using ReportLab.
So I would need to load and display that PDF.
