I am looking to implement an eBook reader app. I have found an open source PDF viewer that suited my needs. I now would like to know if there are any open source ePub viewers that I could leverage into the app.
Does anyone know of open source ePub viewers?
Try this https://github.com/fedefrappi/AePubReader
To provide a more up-to-date answer for those finding this question six years later, two libraries that allow epub parsing & display on iOS are:
Folio Reader and
Readium (specifically, the Streamer subproject)

For generating PDF files we can use Core Graphics. Similarly is there any framework / class that can be used for generating .ppt (power point presentation) files via code ? Or is there any third party framework for this purpose.
There's no in-built Apple API, and I've never heard of a third-party framework for this.
Seems there are still no open source solutions for this for iOS platform. Aspose seems to have something and another commercial that pretty recently emerged - libpptx.com, at least it provides some generic functionality to craft pptx
Is it possible to open a PDF document on an specific page number using quick look framework?
or do I have to use another reader?
Thanks!.
The QuickLook framework does not provide support for this feature. You have to use another PDF viewer framework.
I've an application which requires editing documents of type (doc, docx, ppt, pptx and txt). Apple has a built in framework to view the contents of the documents but I couldn't find any support to edit these documents.
It would be great if someone can help me out if there are any third party frameworks either open source or licensed versions which we can integrate it in our application. This should have a support to highlight text in the above mentioned formats.
Any approach to solve this requirements can help me a lot.
Thanks

Would anyone know a good and easy-to-use library on iOS to parse KML in order to get all the polygons described in the file?
This appears to be a promising one: https://github.com/mapbox/Simple-KML
Just researching myself.
You may find the KMLViewer example in the iOS sample code helpful: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/KMLViewer/Introduction/Intro.html
This one seems to work well for me:
http://kmlframework.com/#license
The sample app lets you enter a URL to some KML, and it will display it.
It is free to use under the MIT license (which includes commercial use).
I am thinking of making an application that requires extracting TEXT from an image. I haven't done any thing similar and I don't want to implement the whole stuff on my own. Is there any known library or open source code (supported for ios, objective-C) which can help me in extracting the text from the image. A basic source code will also do (I will try to modify it as per my need).
Kindly let me know if some one has any idea on this.
Thanks,

One of the main open source libraries used to do OCR on iOS is a google-sponsored open source project called tesseract.
Here is some info on compiling tesseract for use in iOS apps:
tesseract
The same guy has a nice sample project on github demonstrating how a simple client might use the compiled library:
Pocket-OCR
