Can anyone help with combining two pdf's together on an iPad? I dont know where to start.
I have an app that contains a lot of single page pdf's and I want to be able to allow the user to merge them together for printing and emailing if they wish.
I have looked at the various CGPDF classes but dont know where to begin.
I am sorry that I don't have an answer for your exact question, but Fast and Lean PDF Viewer for iPhone / iPad / iOs - tips and hints? is an excellent place to start. When I first started with all of this I used the iText library from Java to see what was actually going on behind the scenes with properties etc (since all the iOS CGPDF classes are Opaque).

I'm having a problem with making roll overs work in an interactive pdf for iPad and mobile devices. I've spent hours looking for a resolution, but have found nothing for this specific issue...
What I have is sections in the document where the viewer can answer questions via check boxes. The check boxes work fine. However the check boxes for the incorrect answers trigger, on roll over, a 'pop-up' window that will nudge them to the correct answer. I have tried doing this through InDesign at the design stage and through Acrobat. Right now the functionality is primarily through Acrobat (seems to be closer to the end goal).
I'm not sure if it's as simple as a setting or what? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. More specific information can be given if needed. Thanks!
You have to look at the "documentation" for the various PDF viewers for iOS, and see what they support.
Opposed to the Windows and OSX platforms, Adobe Reader for iOS (and Android) is mediocre at best, when it comes to JavaScript support (which is most likely the base for the rollovers). For iOS, the leader of the pack is PDFExpert by Readdle. With some luck, this PDF viewer may support what you want to accomplish.
I need to start developing an app to publish interactive magazines for the iPad. However I don't have any idea how I can make the reader. I've been using web views to display normal pdf's, however now I need to use magazines created using Adobe Indesign. Have been looking all over and haven't found anything besides businesses that already provide their own apps for publishing.
If anyone can point me somewhere I can start, I've already looked at a very good tutorial to set up the store and possibly the library:

but i don't think QuickLook is what I need for the reader.
Take a look at this PDF rendering library:
http://pspdfkit.com/
We used it in a similar app, and were very pleased. Peter Steinberger (the author) also gives great support and is very helpful. Previous to purchasing this library, I wrote my own PDF renderer, and I can guarantee you that it's MUCH cheaper to just buy Pete's library. Otherwise, you will spend months to optimize it enough that it runs on iPad 1.
I am creating a very basic App for the iPhone & iPad and it's being built in Flash Professional CS5.5. All the actionscript is done on the frames (inline?) as I'm not familiar with using classes and external .as files etc. I've been meaning to learn that method but just haven't gotten around to it.
So my question is, what is the simplest way to use stageVideo to play a video attached to the IPA? I have looked at various sites such as http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html and spent hours on Google looking for examples, but all the examples and source files are either: external classes, flex, or flash builder. I can't find a simple .fla example where all the code is internally placed.
You need to change the wmode=direct in the Name-app.xml. If you find a way to edit it, tell me please, cause I don't know how to do it on Flash Professional =/
I am developing an application that presents different stories for kids.
These stories are already made in flash.
My problem is how to add to the storys That app.
Initially one of the approaches was to create an app in Coco2D and make the animations in this language (converting the animations in pictures). However due to possess many animations and sounds, this process is very complicated
Thus, I asked opinions on what approach should I do to solve this problem.
Any opinion will help.
Thanks...
If you want to change the way you will solve the problem, you can try Adore Air which let you use Flash on iOS Apps : An example on how to do this
If you want to continue with Cocos2D, you can find good tutorials there for your project :
Good Tutorials to make a project with Cocos2D
If your stories doesn't have any interactive elements, you can try to convert your stories in Flash to Video Files with some softwares (try to enter it in Google).
I have a IPad noob question.
Here is the task I am trying to achieve:
I need to build an IPad/IPhone app that will display a lot of images and data. The problem is that this app needs to work offline as well as online. So, the data needs to stored in some way on the IPad.
I am looking for some opinions on techniques/architecture/development.
To provide a bit of background I work mainly in C#.NET and this is my first IPad app. So far I know that I can either create a native app using objective C, or go for an HTML app which later may or may not be converted to a native app.
Furthermore, I am currently testing by creating a simple html page with an image, and trying to cache the image and page so it will work offline. This so far, however is not working as the image or page do not seem to be cached.
EDIT: Does anyone know how much is the caching limit. I believe I have somewhere around 10-15 mbs of images.
I will appreciate any ideas/opinions/resources on this task.
use CoreData to store your images offline Apple CoreData Docs
I am unsure wot you need the online bit for, are you retrieving images off the net or uploading them?
