How to Convert UIView to PDF within iOS?

Answer 1

Use UIPrintPageRenderer from UIWebView Follow below steps :
Add Category of UIPrintPageRenderer for getting PDF Data
#interface UIPrintPageRenderer (PDF)
- (NSData*) printToPDF;
#end
#implementation UIPrintPageRenderer (PDF)
- (NSData*) printToPDF
{
NSMutableData *pdfData = [NSMutableData data];
UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData( pdfData, self.paperRect, nil );
[self prepareForDrawingPages: NSMakeRange(0, self.numberOfPages)];
CGRect bounds = UIGraphicsGetPDFContextBounds();
for ( int i = 0 ; i < self.numberOfPages ; i++ )
{
UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage();
[self drawPageAtIndex: i inRect: bounds];
}
UIGraphicsEndPDFContext();
return pdfData;
}
#end
Add these define for A4 size
#define kPaperSizeA4 CGSizeMake(595.2,841.8)
Now in UIWebView's webViewDidFinishLoad delegate use UIPrintPageRenderer property of UIWebView.
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)awebView
{
if (awebView.isLoading)
return;
UIPrintPageRenderer *render = [[UIPrintPageRenderer alloc] init];
[render addPrintFormatter:awebView.viewPrintFormatter startingAtPageAtIndex:0];
//increase these values according to your requirement
float topPadding = 10.0f;
float bottomPadding = 10.0f;
float leftPadding = 10.0f;
float rightPadding = 10.0f;
CGRect printableRect = CGRectMake(leftPadding,
topPadding,
kPaperSizeA4.width-leftPadding-rightPadding,
kPaperSizeA4.height-topPadding-bottomPadding);
CGRect paperRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, kPaperSizeA4.width, kPaperSizeA4.height);
[render setValue:[NSValue valueWithCGRect:paperRect] forKey:#"paperRect"];
[render setValue:[NSValue valueWithCGRect:printableRect] forKey:#"printableRect"];
NSData *pdfData = [render printToPDF];
if (pdfData) {
[pdfData writeToFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/tmp.pdf",NSTemporaryDirectory()] atomically: YES];
}
else
{
NSLog(#"PDF couldnot be created");
}
}

You're right, you need a Webview.
If you have the .pdf file in the bundle, simply do this :
#implementation{
UIWebView *documentWebView;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad{ //Or any other method that you want to create the webview with.
//Getting the full screen size
UIWindow* currentWindow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
CGRect fullScreenRect = currentWindow.bounds;
//Getting the pdf from the bundle ; change filepath with URL if its from the internet
filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"YourPDFFileName" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:fileURL];
//Creating the view programatically, because I'm like that.
documentWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(fullScreenRect.origin.x, fullScreenRect.origin.y, fullScreenRect.size.width, fullScreenRect.size.height)];
documentWebView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
//Setting a back button to dismiss the view.
UIButton *backButton = [[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(fullScreenRect.size.width-115, 10, 100, 30)];
backButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
backButton.alpha = 0.8;
[backButton setTitle:#"Back" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//Linking the action & the button
[backButton addTarget:self action:#selector(closeWebView:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
//Loading the pdf into the actual view
[documentWebView loadRequest:request];
//Adding the views to the main view
[currentWindow addSubview:documentWebView];
[documentWebView addSubview:backButton];
}
//Dismissing the view
- (IBAction)closeWebView:(id)sender{
[documentWebView removeFromSuperview];
[documentWebView release];
}
