thanks for your perfect work, this is the best pdf reader on linux i ever see.
i would like to ask if qpdfview can support smooth text-selection like evince. 
also, i know evince uses poppler cairo backend and wonder if qpdfview can support it.
current poppler developers doesn't allow Qt4 bindings to support cairo backend because of "politically controversial".
but here is the patchsets rejected by poppler developers to help solve it:
https://github.com/giddie/poppler-qt4-cairo-backend
here is the dispute about it:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25240
hopefully this helps.

Best regards, haylon
