Question

Mayb do you know a good open-source pdf renderer for objective-c? 🙂

Answer 1

Core Graphics provides a lot of native PDF-rendering functionality. If you just want to provide a view that lets the user pan and zoom around a PDF, use a UIWebView; all you have to do is give it the URL to a PDF inside your bundle, as in

NSString *resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"my_file" ofType:@"pdf"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:resourcePath];
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
