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)?

I have an app that saves data in my Documents directory. It would be very useful to be able to mail the data file to some other users so they can also use the gathered information. I have spent most of today looking for a solution, but have not found any answers basic enough to be of any help. So, I would greatly appreciate some help to get me started. Like, what do I need to do to make IOS aware that I am interested in opening ( in my case actually only copying the file to the app’s Documents directory for further chewing) a file with, for example the .xyz-extension and how this is done.
Much appreciated,

Running on a real device, there seems to be no problem.

Yes someone did it before. I used this kit also and it is great to search pages and highlight the result. It's PDFKitten by KurtCode (on Github).
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.
Im new to iPhone programming and wanted to see how people have solved this problem:
Ive created my app which will ship with certain pLists and .png files in the main bundle. However, what I want to do is when the app starts up, Id like it to check my server to see if there are updated versions of the files in the documents folder available. If so Id like the app to download those files.
I was wondering if someone can point me to some resources on how to do this? Ive searched online but haven't come up with good hits.
Whats the google key-word for searching this topic anyways?
Thanks a lot
you can use NSUrlRequest to download the files, to move them to the correct place you can use NSFileManager, if you look at the apple docs for both these classes there should be sample code explaining how to copy/save a file from NSData, and also how to download it.
I don't have any example resources of how to do exactly this, though I would probably do something along the lines of onAppLoad checking to see if the content of the application that you want to keep updated is the most recent, and if not, download it.
As for keywords to search I would try something along the lines of "Automatic App Content Updating/Verification" and throw in "iOS/iPhone/iPad" or some similar combination.
I'll do some more poking around and shoot you a comment notification if I find anything worthwhile, and then edit my post with it.
I am making an iPhone application and i want to use libical to parse .ics dat from an .ics file OR from the URL location of the .ics file..
Firstly i want to know how i would go about using libical in my project? How to add it into my iphone project etc.. ive seen some guides but they seem to be specific to OSX projects and not iphone projects..
Secondly i want to parse event names and their descriptions, so i that i can store the event names/ descriptions as variables..
I was wondering if this was possible using libical.. if so could someone please show me roughly how i may go about implementing this...
Any and all information will be very much appreciated!
Thank You For Reading
I know it might not be a very helpful answer - posting it because i can't comment on the question, so sorry for that - but ics data files are relatively easily parsable. Open one in a text editor and take a look, i've implemented an ics parser before for exactly what you're trying to do, took me a couple of hours, and trying to get all sorts of libraries to compile used taken me more in a few occasions :)
Found an excellent library for parsing .ics files. There are a whole lot of functions too for other tasks like managing calendar and calendar events.
