How to Add a PDF Document to a UIWebView using ASIHTTP - iphone

Question

I have the following code in viewDidLoad
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:URL_TO_DOWNLOAD];
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request startAsynchronous];
[request setCacheStoragePolicy:ASICachePermanentlyCacheStoragePolicy];
When this is completed I want to view the URL (PDF) downloaded inside my UIWebView. I create a UIWebView programatically however I can't figure out a way to loadRequest my actual ASIHTTP Request.

Answer 1

you could display a pdf in your device by two way.
first by passing the url to UIWebView directly, in this case you do'nt require to download pdf file
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 360, 420)];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWebView_Class/UIWebView_Class.pdf"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
And the second way , you first need to download (As you are doing) then get the path of pdf file from your application bundle,
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
NSString *pdfpath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"mypdf" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *pdfURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:pdfpath ];
NSURLRequest *pdfRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:pdfURL ];
[webView loadRequest:pdfRequest];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView release];
