I have a WKWebView which displayed pdf. I want to share the file to another devices such as iPad, iPhone.... using the share button. I tried to display the pdf in preview so it will have the iOS share button the code below.
import UIKit
import WebKit
class ShowPDFView: UIViewController, UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate {
#IBAction func SharePDFFile(_ sender: Any) {
let fileName = "testPDF"
guard let urlPath = Bundle.main.url(forResource: fileName, withExtension: "pdf") else {return}
let controller = UIDocumentInteractionController(url: urlPath)
controller.delegate = self
controller.presentPreview(animated: true)
}
func documentInteractionControllerViewControllerForPreview(controller: UIDocumentInteractionController!) -> UIViewController! {
return self
}
func documentInteractionControllerViewForPreview(controller: UIDocumentInteractionController!) -> UIView! {
return self.view
}
func documentInteractionControllerRectForPreview(controller: UIDocumentInteractionController!) -> CGRect{
return self.view.frame
}
I got runtime error.
[MC] Reading from private effective user settings.
The preview does not loaded. Does anyone know why?
This function works for me. In Swift 4
#IBAction func SharePDFFile(_ sender: Any) {
let fm = FileManager.default
var pdfURL = (fm.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)).last! as URL
pdfURL = pdfURL.appendingPathComponent("johnMilky.pdf") as URL
//Rename document name to "myFile.pdf"
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).appendingPathComponent("johnMilkyFile.pdf") as NSURL
do {
let data = try Data(contentsOf: pdfURL)
try data.write(to: url as URL)
let activitycontroller = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [url], applicationActivities: nil)
if activitycontroller.responds(to: #selector(getter: activitycontroller.completionWithItemsHandler))
{
activitycontroller.completionWithItemsHandler = {(type, isCompleted, items, error) in
if isCompleted
{
print("completed")
}
}
}
//activitycontroller.excludedActivityTypes = [UIActivity.ActivityType.airDrop]
activitycontroller.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view
self.present(activitycontroller, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
catch {
print(error)
}
}

I'm downloading a PDF from a url and then displaying it using PDFKit in Swift5. However, when I tap my viewCell it is not presenting the PDF and potentially not downloading the PDF. How can I verify this?
I have two files, PlanogramViewController and ShowPDFViewController.
var pdfURL: URL!
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if let plano = self.data[indexPath.row] as? Planogram {
guard let url = URL(string: Plano.pdfUrl) else { return }
let urlSession = URLSession(configuration: .default, delegate: self, delegateQueue: OperationQueue())
let downloadTask = urlSession.downloadTask(with: url)
downloadTask.resume()
let pdfViewController = ShowPDFViewController()
pdfViewController.pdfURL = self.pdfURL
present(pdfViewController, animated: false, completion: nil)
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
}
}
extension PlanogramViewController: URLSessionDownloadDelegate {
func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, downloadTask: URLSessionDownloadTask, didFinishDownloadingTo location: URL) {
print("downloadLocation:", location)
// create destination URL with the original pdf name
guard let url = downloadTask.originalRequest?.url else { return }
let documentsPath = FileManager.default.urls(for: .cachesDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
let destinationURL = documentsPath.appendingPathComponent(url.lastPathComponent)
// delete original copy
try? FileManager.default.removeItem(at: destinationURL)
// copy from temp to Document
do {
try FileManager.default.copyItem(at: location, to: destinationURL)
self.pdfURL = destinationURL
} catch let error {
print("Copy Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
So I'm not getting any download verification from my extension. It should be printing my initial download location and then moving it to the cache. If it encounters an error it should also print an error, but I'm getting nothing in the console. As if nothing is downloading.
Then here is the pdfViewController it's supposed to present once it has the PDF downloaded:
import UIKit
import PDFKit
class ShowPDFViewController: UIViewController {
var pdfView = PDFView()
var pdfURL: URL!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview(pdfView)
if let document = PDFDocument(url: pdfURL) {
pdfView.document = document
}
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now()+3) {
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
pdfView.frame = view.frame
}
}
The current behavior is it just highlights the cell I tapped. Nothing in the console and nothing presented on the display.
You need to conform to the UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSourceDelegate protocols in the view controller that has the tableView.
and add
tableView.delegate = self
tableView.dataSource = self
in the viewDidLoad()
Then, implement the required methods, and add optional methods to further customize your tableView.
I am in desperate need of help.
I am trying to create an app which allows the user to save the pdf file from a link such as the example one I gave in the subjectLinks array, all those links point to a pdf page and I am trying to download it and save it in my app. So far, I have scoured everywhere and found a way to do it using the Files app, so what I'm doing in the code is downloading the data of the pdf and opening it using UIDocument and presentPreview to display it and I have managed to allow the user to share the downloaded file and save it to Files as well.
However the problem arises as I want to make it so that when the user clicks download the file is automatically saved to the Files app in a directory so that the user does not need to click the option button then choose Save to Files and then look for where to save it. Is that possible??
If that is not possible, at least when the user chooses the option button and clicks Save to Files, it would automatically create a separate directory where the user can see and pdf file can be saved?
I want to do this as most times, when Save to Files is chosen, saving 'On My iPhone' is not available as there is no directory or such present so it can only be saved to google drive or iCloud Drive and this is a major inconvenience.
Sorry for the long post. BUT I WOULD BE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL IF ANYONE COULD HELP SOLVE MY PROBLEM. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH IN ADVANCE :)
P.S everything in my code works perfectly fine so far, its just I am absolutely clueless as to how to implement the features I have outlines above?

I have been trying to figure this out all day and yesterday night, but no luck. I can confirm that the LinkShareContent works but when I try to share a video file. It gives me an error code "reserved" but nothing else.
This is the code for the link
var content = LinkShareContent(url: URL(string: "https://google.com")!)
showShareDialog(content)
and this is the code for the video that does not work at all.
let video = Video(url: url)
var content = VideoShareContent(video: video, previewPhoto: Photo(image: inProgressItem.firstImage, userGenerated: true))
showShareDialog(content)
This will show the share Sheet on the controller
Func showShareDialog<C: ContentProtocol>(_ content: C, mode: ShareDialogMode = .shareSheet) {
let dialog = ShareDialog(content: content)
dialog.presentingViewController = self
dialog.mode = mode
do{
try dialog.show()
}
catch (let error){
print(error)
}
}
I have confirmed that the video is on the local path and I'm testing the app on iPhone 8 11.1.2
Had exactly the same issue. It was working for LinkShareContent but didn't work for VideoShareContent.
The solution:
Make sure you are getting the right URL for the video. The right one is the URL for key "UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL" from info dictionary that comes from UIImagePickerController delegate method.
Working Code:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String: Any]) {
picker.dismiss(animated: true)
if let videoURL = info["UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL"] as? URL {
let video = Video(url: videoURL)
let content = VideoShareContent(video: video)
let dialog = ShareDialog(content: content)
dialog.failsOnInvalidData = true
dialog.mode = .native
dialog.presentingViewController = self
do {
try dialog.show()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
Extra info: initially I did not use this key "UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL" cuz it's deprecated. Apple advises using UIImagePickerControllerPHAsset instead. But the URL from there also returns reserved error. Another try was to use key "UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL", but it also didn't succeed.
I use PHPickerViewController instead of UIPickerController.
private lazy var videoPickerController: PHPickerViewController = {
let photoLibrary = PHPhotoLibrary.shared()
var configuration = PHPickerConfiguration(photoLibrary: photoLibrary)
configuration.selectionLimit = 1
configuration.filter = .any(of: [.videos])
let picker = PHPickerViewController(configuration: configuration)
picker.delegate = self
return picker
}()
Then using PHAsset for initialisation ShareVideo(videoAsset:).
private func facebookShare(content: Content) {
guard let schemaUrl = URL(string: "fb://") else {
return
}
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(schemaUrl) {
let video = ShareVideo(videoAsset: content)
let content = ShareVideoContent()
content.video = video
let dialog = ShareDialog(
viewController: self,
content: content,
delegate: self
)
do {
try dialog.validate()
} catch let error as NSError {
presentAlert(message: (error.userInfo[ErrorDeveloperMessageKey] as? String) ?? error.localizedDescription)
} catch {
presentAlert(message: error.localizedDescription)
}
if dialog.canShow {
dialog.show()
}
} else {
presentAlert(message: "FB app not installed")
}
}
And PHPickerViewControllerDelegate looks something like this (I always select only 1 asset that's why I use fetchResult.firstObject)
func picker(_ picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]) {
picker.dismiss(animated: true)
let identifiers = results.compactMap(\.assetIdentifier)
let fetchResult = PHAsset.fetchAssets(withLocalIdentifiers: identifiers, options: nil)
guard let videoAsset = fetchResult.firstObject else { return }
}
This solution works for iOS 14 and higher and if on your device Facebook app installed.
Also before upload video I login via FB.
I think something changed within Swift that disabled me from previewing my files. It worked fine previously. If I click on say a PDF file in my app, I see the title of the PDF, but the content of PDF (preview) area does not show.
Below is my code & logs & also the screenshot. If anyone has an idea of where I can fix the issue, any help would be greatly appreciated.
// When file is clicked this method is called

this is how the preview shows
Here Is The Code
import UIKit
import Alamofire

override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()

let requestObj = NSURLRequest(URL: url!);
WebView.loadRequest(requestObj)
}
}
I have write this code to show pdf using UIDocumentInteractionController.But,I don't know how to search pdf at local directory and open in iOS 8 and below..Any help?
let filename = history.invoiceLongDate // 01223642
if !filename.isEmpty{
let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)
let docs = paths[0]
let pathURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: docs, isDirectory: true)
if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: "\(filename)_my_invoice.pdf", isDirectory: false, relativeToURL: pathURL)
self.docController = UIDocumentInteractionController(URL: fileURL)
self.docController?.delegate = self
self.docController?.presentOptionsMenuFromRect(sender.frame, inView: self.view, animated: true)
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
// Any Help with that?
}
}
You can view PDF in iOS 8 by using webview. Try below code,
if let pdf = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("myPDF", withExtension: "pdf", subdirectory: nil, localization: nil) {
let req = NSURLRequest(URL: pdf)
let webView = UIWebView(frame: CGRectMake(0,0,self.view.frame.size.width,self.view.frame.size.height))
webView.loadRequest(req)
self.view.addSubview(webView)
}
OR
if let baseUrl = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(pathURL) {
let fileURL = baseUrl.URLByAppendingPathComponent(NFConstants.NFCoreDataStringIdentifiers.CoreDataStoresPathComponent.rawValue)
}
Hope this will be helpful to you.
UIDocumentInteractionController is available with (iOS 3.2, *).
For Viewing PDF file:
var documentInteractionController: UIDocumentInteractionController!
#IBAction func openDocument(sender: UIButton) {
let URL: NSURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("pdf-sample", withExtension: "pdf")!
if (URL != "") {
// Initialize Document Interaction Controller
self.documentInteractionController = UIDocumentInteractionController(URL: URL)
// Configure Document Interaction Controller
self.documentInteractionController.delegate = self
// Present Open In Menu
self.documentInteractionController.presentOptionsMenuFromRect(sender.frame, inView: self.view, animated: true)
//presentOpenInMenuFromRect(button.frame, inView: self.view, animated: true)
}
}
// MARK: UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate
func documentInteractionControllerViewControllerForPreview(controller: UIDocumentInteractionController) -> UIViewController {
return self
}
