I have the following simple code to display a pdf in a webview. I’ve discovered that in iOS 5 the PDF wont display (shows up as white space with a black bar at the bottom). I have tried different PDFs and verified that the PDF is good by opening it in Acrobat. Any ideas what may have chnged in iOS5? I have also verified that the path is correct.

It displays properly in iOS 4.3

pathToPDF = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",[self getDocumentsPath], [chartDic objectForKey:@"PDFName"]];

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:pathToPDF];

NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];

    This was a simple error – I had implemented the shouldLoad method and forgot to have it return YES. For some reason in iOS4 it must have been defaulting to YES.
