Why printsupport on Qt 5.0+ ?Return to overview

I read on the "setting up" tutorial that Qt 5.0 and higher needs printsupport to be added to the Qt variable in the project .pro file. Why is that?

Because creating PDF files is done with QPrinter in Qt, and QCustomPlot can export its plot to PDF (among other rasterized formats).

Is there any way I can get rid of it? Somehow, I'd like to strip off QCP to only have the essential drawing functions - even more: related just to drawing curves. I don't need PDF exporting support at all and I'm looking at making my application as small as possible.
