## Detailed Description

QPdfView is a PDF viewer widget that offers a user experience similar to many common PDF viewer applications, with two modes. In the `MultiPage` mode, it supports flicking through the pages in the entire document, with narrow gaps between the page images. In the `SinglePage` mode, it shows one page at a time.
