  While experimenting with this, I had also realized that text can no longer be selected after printing to a PDF file.
  However when printing from Kate for example, the text is still selectable, so it seems to me like there might possibly be some way to maintain text when printing in Qt. (?)
  
  Background: I wanted to evaluate the QPrinter based approach since it seems to have quite some advantages from an architectural point of view (platform-independent, not having to maintain printing-specific code at several places (Qt Okular,...)) and we plan to have some features implemented in the  print dialog (for Qt/Okular).
