Load PDF from documents directory - iPhone

Question

Instead of loading a PDF from the resources folder I would like to load it from the documents directory. I have been trying to do this for days but the CGPDFDocumentRef keeps

Answer 1

ok, next try. I hope this time it will be more useful :-/

are you sure the file exists at this path?
I created a testcase similar to yours. And with a file named "file 123.pdf" this seems to work. At least I can read the version of the pdf.

I added this after your code sample to see if the pdf was loaded.

NSLog(@"PDF: %@", pdf);
int majorVersion;
int minorVersion;
CGPDFDocumentGetVersion(pdf, &majorVersion, &minorVersion);
NSLog(@"%d %d", majorVersion, minorVersion);

and this gives me the following console output:

2010-10-08 13:01:40.246 test[3517:207] PATH: /var/mobile/Applications/E9CDCAC1-430D-488E-ABC3-33F40F6A06F4/Documents/file 123.pdf
2010-10-08 13:01:40.252 test[3517:207] URL: file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/E9CDCAC1-430D-488E-ABC3-33F40F6A06F4/Documents/file%20123.pdf
2010-10-08 13:01:40.257 test[3517:207] PDF: 
2010-10-08 13:01:40.260 test[3517:207] 1 4

there is clearly a %20 inside, so I think this is not the problem with your implementation.

EDIT: Add this to your code to make sure that the file exists at this path.

if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path])
    NSLog(@"File does not exist!");

There must be a valid pdf-File at your path.
