Making an RSS news article page look "native" in ios app - ios

I am creating an RSS Reader ios app for work and I have everything that I need except that when the article is loaded it just loads the mobile view just as it would load when viewing on safari. They want it to look more "native" to the app, meaning just the title, photo and then then the articles text in plain underneath.
This is my first attempt at an app and I am using a project that was open free source code. This project uses MWFeedParser integrated into it which, from what i've read, can accomplish what I need to (I think). Can anyone who has done this before or knows how to do it be kind enough to take me through it? I've asked a similar question before but the answers were vague and still left me stuck.
If it helps, I have uploaded the full project on github here:
https://github.com/cpoti24/RSSReader
Please download it if you wish and run it yourself on xcode if that will help out. If you're able to do it and help me learn how, even better.
Thanks!

How to edit PDF Forms in iOS application?

How can I edit PDF files in an iOS application?
i found this question durring my search and the idea presented here,
"A better idea in my opinion is to create a native UI showing the data contained in the PDF file using the standard Cocoa-Touch UIKit, and create the PDF once the user is done with it so that the user can export it back. That way, you don't have to write a complicated PDF handling code." .. sounds very good just that i dont know how to start ...
Thanks
Basically, what it's saying is create a nib/screen/front end to the PDF that would allow the user to record what data they want in there, then after that run a separate piece of code to write that data into the PDF!
Some links to help you out:
Quartz-2D Programming Guide (QuartzCore Framework): https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/graphicsimaging/conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_pdf/dq_pdf.html
A tutorial (Although aimed at iOS5)
http://www.raywenderlich.com/6581/how-to-create-a-pdf-with-quartz-2d-in-ios-5-tutorial-part-1
I will say, I can find information on GENERATING PDF files a lot easier/more reliably than editing them... Are the templates you have difficult? It may be worth re-creating them programatically when the data is inputted!

Is it possible to edit .ePub file via iPad application?

Requirement of the iPad app is to display an ebook that allows user to edit and save it. Further requirements are like navigation and bookmarks. In precise, just similar to the iBooks app.
My question is, is it possible to edit the .epub file? I believe we can edit .pdf files (As I have seen some apps available on iTunes). I tried searching on google, all I could find out is, how to display ePub file and how to customize the look of ePub file. Any suggestion would be great.
Have a look at
Sigil
Since it's open source, you may be able to tweak it to run on IOS.
Wikipedia's list of ePub editing systems doesn't have an IOS entry yet.
There is an app for editing ePub files, but it's a bit pricey at the moment ($14.99 as of this writing):
Easy ePub Creator Pro (link is to the App Store)
There is also a method that uses GoodReader, but requires several steps to take an ePub file and get it into GoodReader, editable, and then reverse the process after editing. But GoodReader is cheaper than the above option, and many iPad users already have it for other purposes, so I felt it's worth mentioning. The following blog post covers it.
Editing ePub files entirely on the iPad (blog post at "The Bergen Street Paper Co.")
Also, Kurt's answer points out that Wikipedia's list of ePub editors doesn't contain an iOS version, but it's worth noting that there are several entries in that list that run on the web. You might be able to edit your book in Mobile Safari on your iPad. I haven't tried, but it may be worth investigating.

ios5 storyboard version of Facebook integration

Just curious if there is an existing storyboard version of Facebook integration around because I've been googling for about 2 days. So far, I can do authorization for my app and what I have in mind is to try posting a simple status message perhaps from my app to my Facebook newsfeed. Most of the demos / tutorials I've gone through use xib's though such as this. This one is a good tutorial, however I want a storyboard version for this. Tell me if this post is a dupe and kindly post that question so I can study it.
I know there were a lot here that know the idea of sharing :)
So any helpful links were very much appreciated, as it will, in a way, boost my learning experience as well as the others who are starting iOS development :)
Thanks!
If you wish to simply post a status update you should be able to use the same examples that are shown in nib files. However if you want to see a sample app that uses story boards you can take a look at this sample app:
https://github.com/fbsamples/ios-social-cafe
It uses story boards to set up the UI and perform facebook login. You can also check it out to see how to use the new UI pickers (friends, place) and how to do open graph actions.
If you have more specific details around how you want to post a status update, please provide them so I can clarify further.
Yes, there is a simple example of an iOS app using Storyboards (iOS5 and later): https://github.com/fbsamples/ios-social-cafe
Hopefully that's helpful and shows how to do a good authorization flow with Storyboarding.
Good luck.
