I want to display MSOffice extensions in webview. Is this possible?
I've tried this:
NSString *resourceDocPath = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents"]];
NSString *filePath = [resourceDocPath
stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"myPDF.pdf"];
[pdfData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
CGRect rect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGSize screenSize = rect.size;
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,screenSize.width,screenSize.height)];
// Now create Request for the file that was saved in your documents folder
//UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 250, self.view.frame.size.width, 300)];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:fileurl];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
But I get the message:
"An error occured while reading the document".
Try below if your ppt file is drag dropped in your project
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"FileName" ofType:#"ppt"]isDirectory:NO]]];
If you are getting your file from server in form of NSData then use below
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:[#"yourURL" stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSData* responseData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: url];
[webView loadData:responseData MIMEType:#"application/ppt"
textEncodingName:#"utf-8" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#""]];
PDF file error with run in xcode 6.0
It's not work ......
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWebView_Class/UIWebView_Class.pdf"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
Its going to encode .. try it. Within url 'record id_2_1_1410848039.pdf' in between record and id space count.
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
webView.delegate = self;
NSString *getURL = #"http://google.com/images/item_attachment/282/record id_2_1_1410848039.pdf";
NSString *encodedString=[getURL stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *webURL = [NSURL URLWithString:encodedString];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:webURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
webView.ScalesPageToFit = true;
I have downloaded a PDF file form a web url and saved it on disk. I want to view the same file in webView. i used:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.fileViewController animated:YES];
i am using this code to navigate to other view controller. Following is my code in viewDidLoad:
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myFile" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
}
Just tell me that where i am wrong. thanks in anticipation.
I have checked your code and it works. May be you need to add webview as subview to your view controller by using following code: [self.view addSubview:webView];
I hope it will help you...
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myFile" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
}
I am trying to view a PDF file from a server but I only get a view in black and doesn't contain anything. Here's my code:
pdfViewer = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 768, 949)];
pdfViewer.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
pdfViewer.delegate = self;
[sgContainer addSubview:pdfViewer];
chatSpinner = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
chatSpinner.frame = CGRectMake(334, 462, 100, 100);
[pdfViewer addSubview:chatSpinner];
NSString *httpSource = #"http://www.mywebsite.com/folder/subfolder/file.pdf";
NSURL *fullUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:httpSource];
NSURLRequest *httpRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:fullUrl];
[pdfViewer loadRequest:httpRequest];
If you are trying to display a PDF file residing on a server somewhere, you can simple load it to your web view directly:
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWebView_Class/UIWebView_Class.pdf"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
Or if you have a PDF file bundled with your application (in this example named "document.pdf"):
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"document" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
Let me know if you face any problem.
Can we open the pdf file from UIWebView?
Yes, this can be done with the UIWebView.
If you are trying to display a PDF file residing on a server somewhere, you can simply load it in your web view directly:
Objective-C
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.example.com/document.pdf"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
Swift
let webView = UIWebView(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: 200, height: 200))
let targetURL = NSURL(string: "https://www.example.com/document.pdf")! // This value is force-unwrapped for the sake of a compact example, do not do this in your code
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: targetURL)
webView.loadRequest(request)
view.addSubview(webView)
Or if you have a PDF file bundled with your application (in this example named "document.pdf"):
Objective-C
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSURL *targetURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:#"document" withExtension:#"pdf"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
Swift
let webView = UIWebView(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: 200, height: 200))
let targetURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("document", withExtension: "pdf")! // This value is force-unwrapped for the sake of a compact example, do not do this in your code
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: targetURL)
webView.loadRequest(request)
view.addSubview(webView)
You can find more information here: Technical QA1630: Using UIWebView to display select document types.
UIWebviews can also load the .pdf using loadData method, if you acquire it as NSData:
[self.webView loadData:self.pdfData
MIMEType:#"application/pdf"
textEncodingName:#"UTF-8"
baseURL:nil];
use this for open pdf file in webview
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"mypdf" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
UIWebView *webView=[[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 300)];
[[webView scrollView] setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0,500) animated:YES];
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"window.scrollTo(0.0, 50.0)"]];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
NSString *folderName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"/documents/%#",[tempDictLitrature objectForKey:#"folder"]];
NSString *fileName=[tempDictLitrature objectForKey:#"name"];
[self.navigationItem setTitle:fileName];
NSString *type=[tempDictLitrature objectForKey:#"type"];
NSString *path=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:fileName ofType:type inDirectory:folderName];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
webView=[[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 730)];
[webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];
webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
[[webView scrollView] setContentOffset:CGPointZero animated:YES];
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"window.scrollTo(0.0, 50.0)"]];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
Swift version:
if let docPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("sample", ofType: "pdf") {
let docURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: docPath)
webView.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: docURL))
}
An update to Martin Alléus's answer, to get the full screen whether it is a phone or a iPad without having to hard code:
CGRect rect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGSize screenSize = rect.size;
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,screenSize.width,screenSize.height)];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"pdf" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
Swift 4
let webView = UIWebView(frame: view.bounds)
let targetURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "sampleFileName", withExtension: "pdf")
let request = URLRequest(url: targetURL!)
webView.loadRequest(request)
view.addSubview(webView)
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"document" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
UIWebView *pdfWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://unec.edu.az/application/uploads/2014/12/pdf-sample.pdf"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[pdfWebView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:pdfWebView];
WKWebView: I find this question to be the best place to let people know that they should start using WKWebview as UIWebView is now deprecated.
Objective C
WKWebView *webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
webView.navigationDelegate = self;
NSURL *nsurl=[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.example.com/document.pdf"];
NSURLRequest *nsrequest=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:nsurl];
[webView loadRequest:nsrequest];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
Swift
let myURLString = "https://www.example.com/document.pdf"
let url = NSURL(string: myURLString)
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)
let webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame)
webView.navigationDelegate = self
webView.loadRequest(request)
view.addSubview(webView)
I haven't copied this code directly from Xcode, so it might, it might contain some syntax error. Please check while using it.
