pdfkit

I'm curious to know whether the PDFKit framework is available for use within the iPhone OS, in order to build a PDF reader a bit more sophisticated than the one available by simply opening PDF documents with UIWebView. Just wondering if this is an option or not. The PDFKit is not available on iPhone at this time. Certainly the functionality is there, but Apple has not opened it up in an available framework. You should file a bug on this if you'd like to see it in the future. If you want more control over PDF, there are many ways to manipulate PDF content using Quartz graphics. Grab the

I have a situation where I want to print a multi-page PDF. While I could use the PDFKit utility classes and/or quartz functions to get the information to manually write drawing/pagination code for a NSView subclass, I had thought that quicker alternative would be to create an off-screen PDFView and tell it to print itself. When I tried this solution, the print dialog didn't go away, all of the print settings controls on the right half of the print dialog disappeared, and the application froze. I then wrote a tiny test application with the following method that illustrates the problem. When the

Is it possible to display the Euro symbol in pdfkit for nodejs without having to embed an external font? I am using pdfKit to generate invoices and would like to prefix my currency amounts with the Euro Symbol (€). I've tried a number of approaches and none worked: doc.font('Helvetica-Bold') .fontSize(12) .text('€', 10, 10); // Alt+0128 on keypad doc.font('Helvetica-Bold') .fontSize(12) .text('\u20AC', 10, 10); Turns out it is a font issue: unicode works, but you have to make sure that the font you are using includes the characters you want to use. Unlike your operating system, PDFKit does not

I'm using PDFKit on iOS to highlight texts (PDF file). I do it by create a PDFAnnotation and add it to the selected text area. I want to highlight precisely the selected area but it always covers the whole line like the pics below. How can I create the annotation for the selected area only?? My code: let highlight = PDFAnnotation(bounds: selectionText.bounds(for: page), forType: PDFAnnotationSubtype.highlight, withProperties: nil) highlight.color = highlightColor page.addAnnotation(highlight) PDFSelection bounds(forPage:) method returns one rectangle to satisfy whole selection area. Is not the

I would like to concatenate several PDF files to form one single PDF. Now I've come so far that I know, PDFKit is the proper way to go (I guess). But I am not sure, how to accomplish the merging. Should I have one PDFDocument and several PDFPage and then call insertPage on the PDFDocument ? Or is there a much simpler way? I dont want to alter the PDFs contetwise, I just want to merge them. Thanks a lot! As you indicated, you need one output PDFDocument object which will contain all pages of all input PDF files. To do so, you'll need to loop through all input files, create PDFDocument objects

I have a rails 3.1 app that creates pdf documents using pdfkit, and everything works as specified, except for the fact that the generated pdfs don't have any styling. I am assuming that wkhtmltopdf doesn't have access to my stylesheets and that it is not a larger issue than that. Would anyone have a clue as to how you would allow access to these stylesheets? I have basically followed railscast #220 on the subject, however I have had to create a new initializer to get pdfkit to work with rails 3.1. This is the initializer that I had to use to get pdfkit to work with rails 3.1 ActionController:
