Answer 1

This will do what you need.
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectoryPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *pdfDirectoryString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/YOUR_FILE_NAME", documentsDirectoryPath];
NSError *error = nil;
if (![YOUR_PDF_DATA writeToFile:pdfDirectoryString options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&error])
NSLog(#"Error: %#", [error localizedDescription]);

Answer 2

Try this
For saving PDF in Document Directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSData *data = [PDFImageConverter convertImageToPDF:screenShot]; // convert PDF to data
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",[docArr objectAtIndex:0],[NSString stringWithFormat:#"userDetails.pdf"]];
[data writeToFile:path atomically:NO];
To retrieve and display in web view
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *pdfPathString =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"userDetails.pdf"]]];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:pdfPathString];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[contentWebview loadRequest:request];
