How can I scan links in a PDF Document? Do I have to use Quartz? Which methods/functions?
Yes, you need to use Quartz. You have to parse it out from the PDF. This guide can help you.

I recommend reading the PDF specification so you will know what to look for.
The links are stored in the Annotations object so you will need some software to parse those.

I need to create one sample application for NITF-News Industry Text Format in iphone. I don't know how to begin. What Language(Css,Javascript like that..) should i use to read the content from .xml(NITF) files and design the article pages in iphone.I red from this Link. NITF uses the eXtensible Markup Language(xml) to define the content and structure of news articles.
Please anyone give me some guidance to start.
Thanks in Advance
Use NSXmlParser to parse the data.. Then display the content accordingly..
Using iTextSharp, I want to convert PDF documents into Tiff. Is there any example? Thanks for your time.
I think you can't do that with iTextSharp and someone agrees with me.
Take a look at Ghostscript: with a little work you can achieve your goal.
hi im working on pdf manipulation.
my requirements are to edit the existing pdf document.
looks like there is no actual way to do it. i found out using javascript i can edit the html contents.
so now that my pdf is in uiwebview is there any way to convert pdf document to html content???
i have to do it programatically.
preferred language is objective c but its k if any suggestions in C/C++
thanks in advance
You will have to drop down to C if you want to do this. Basically you need to get hold of a CGPDFDocumentRef reference, and through that iterate each CGPDFPageRef. From the page you can get access to the CGPDFContentStreamRef.
From the content stream you can parse out the primitive data that is is PDF document. From there only a good understanding of the PDF document format can help you.
I would advice you to find a commercial tool, hire an experience contractor, or change your plan. What you have your sights on is allot of hard work.
I'm receiving a pdf that contains some data I would like to parse.
For example, there's an array with some integer data that I would like to parse for an automatic treatment.
I've looked at itext but the sample I've found are for writing pdf only.
Can someone give me an example of how to read through a pdf ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards
PdfBox is much better for reading text from a PDF file.
Finally,
I'm converting PDF to Word and I'm using Word interop :)
I am creating one app in which I need to view pdf, word, and excel files. Can I view these files without using web view? Can anyone provide me with sample code for doing the same.
Or use a web based viewer like FlexPaper

You'll need to use Quartz directly. Documented here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_pdf/dq_pdf.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001066-CH214-TPXREF101
You need to use CGPDFDocument (Apple doc here).
This blog also has very detailed explanation on how to implement it.
