How to display pdf on iOS

Question

I want to know if there is any way for a offline build for xcode iOS such that we can display pdf file from local file.

The method I\'m using now is vi

Answer 1

Many options, here are 3:

1) The easiest way to load and display a local pdf file is to use a UIWebview like that:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"document" ofType:@"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];

2) You can also use a UIDocumentInteractionController/QLPreviewController to display PDF Files natively.

3) Another way would be to build a custom PDF Viewer, as in apples ZoomingPDFViewer example code. (using UIPageViewController + CATiledLayer + UIScrollView)
