I believe you can utilize Googls docs api.

I am working on a project which can edit any document file whether it is doc, rtf, txt, pdf file.
After editing user can save or you can say update that file.
Please advise .. how can anyone edit pdf or doc and re save it ?
Thanks
There is no support for editing pdf or doc files in iOS4. If you want this you'll have to write it yourself.
A UIWebView can natively interpret a lot of document formats but there is no editing for this. If you just want to open these formats I would recommend a UIWebView. If you really need to save to a certain format, you'll have to look around for a framework that can save text to the formats you need. Or you're going to have to do it yourself.
H Friends,
I want to edit the .doc
files in iPhone and retain its format. I know its possible as many applications like "Documents to go" supports this. I am able to view this type of files currently.
Any hint in right direction would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You're able to view them probably in UIWebView.
To edit them you'll have to parse them. Doc files as far as i know (at least the new office) are bundles with xml files and resources.
BTW what does your question have to do with cocos2d (tag)?
How do i Convert .doc format to pdf file from iphone .
i Want same layout as .doc format.
i Tried with html format but did not get any success.
anyone suggest any solution would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Since you are creating a PD based on a DOC Docmosis might help. The cloud system can work from an iPhone as long as you are happy calling a web service.
In my iPhone application I'm generating an HTML file. I would like to convert that HTML file to a PDF file programatically. The PDF will then be attached to an email.
Does anyone know (have an example) how to convert the HTML file to a PDF?
maybe you should start from here: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_pdf/dq_pdf.html
I don't know if this is what your looking for it helped me because it's much easier to generate a prepared html doc then PDF for me. I found a library that does that here http://maniacdev.com/2013/09/ios-library-for-easy-pdf-creation-from-an-html-string-or-URL
I know how to read text file from the ftp server.I have used this logic for rtf file.But it gives wrong out put.Is it possible to read rtf file from the server?If possible then please help me.
You need software that understands the rtf file format. Microsoft Word does. Most plain text editors will not be able to show you the contents of a file in rtf format.
Google for rtf format
Added: didn't notice that you're on an iPhone platform. Google for "rtf iphone" and you'll see several choices including http://prmac.com/release-id-4180.htm
