Swift 2.0 solution, how to save pdf from webview to NSData:

func webViewDidFinishLoad(webView: UIWebView) {
    let pdfData = createPdfFile(webView.viewPrintFormatter())
    pdfData.writeToFile("/path/to/file", atomically: true)
}

func createPdfFile(printFormatter: UIViewPrintFormatter) -> NSData {
    let renderer = UIPrintPageRenderer()
    renderer.addPrintFormatter(printFormatter, startingAtPageAtIndex: 0);
    let paperSize = CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)
    let printableRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, paperSize.width, paperSize.height)
    let paperRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, paperSize.width, paperSize.height);
    renderer.setValue(NSValue(CGRect: paperRect), forKey: "paperRect")
    renderer.setValue(NSValue(CGRect: printableRect), forKey: "printableRect")
    return renderer.printToPDF()
}

You also need to add UIWebViewDelegate to your ViewController and extension for UIPrintPageRenderer.

extension UIPrintPageRenderer {
    func printToPDF() -> NSData {
        let pdfData = NSMutableData()
        UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfData, self.paperRect, nil)
        self.prepareForDrawingPages(NSMakeRange(0, self.numberOfPages()))
        let bounds = UIGraphicsGetPDFContextBounds()
        for i in 0..
