Disable embedded JavaScript support in Okular
It looks like the scope is pretty limited, so maybe not too much of a concern. Thank you for making us aware it uses JavaScript though, that does bother me since I personally think JavaScript and all traces of it should be banned from planet Earth in entirety and perpetuity. Personally, I keep my PDF viewer in KDE set to evince.

Using a Qt5 library from Qt6
Some more information which might be useful, the library im talking about, is actually a part of the "okular" document viewer (https://github.com/KDE/okular). I want to use its core in my application. (https://github.com/Librum-Reader/Librum/tree/dev/develop)

Advise for parsing books
What I am now thinking about, is to use calibre (https://github.com/KDE/okular). My thought was to try and extract the core of the application (which does all of parsing and creates a QPixmap from it), adapt it to fit my application and use this.

Would the okular core (excluding the GUI) code be able to run on mobile devices as well?
Hey, does anyone know, if the Okular (https://github.com/KDE/okular) core code would run on mobile as well? (ios, android) I m not talking about the gui, just the parsing.
