While I was going thru the pdf document in quartz 2D, they were saying about getting a page from the CGPDFDocument object. Then the draw the page in a CGContextRef object. 

CGPDFDocumentRef document = MyGetPDFDocumentRef (filename);
CGPDFPageRef page = CGPDFDocumentGetPage (document, pageNumber); 
CGContextDrawPDFPage (myContext, page); 
CGPDFDocumentRelease (document);

Everything is done into this context. I dont understand how these things done to a context can be viewed in a view OR Am i missing something? I am viewing the pdf in a webView.

    A CGContextRef is a canvas for drawing 2D stuff on it. The code you quoted draws a PDF page on the canvas.

    Every UIView has a -drawRect: method for rendering the view on screen. In the method a CGContextRef is automatically provided (UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()) for you to draw what you needed.
