Can I download a PDF file and shows it without use UIWebView?
I need to show PDF and get full control of its show...
Also, Can I download and strore PDF into filesystem app?
Thx
You can download a PDF the same way as you would download any other file, using an NSURLConnection or NSData's +dataWithContentsOfURL: method. This file will be stored within your application's sandboxed documents directory. Other applications on the filesystem will not have access to it.
As far as viewing the PDF without using UIWebView, this can be accomplished using CGPDFDocument, as described in the answers to this question.

browse file in iphone I'm developing an iPhone app in which I have to upload the PDF and text files on server from iPhone. Please guide me can i browse all pdf files stored in iPhone into my application?
Its not possible to Monitor(Browse) the Files in IOS. Apple does not Approve this type of applications. And also iPhone/iPad we can't access the Other Application Data's. As per your point The PDF must be located in Other iOS Application. We can't Browse the Files Except Bundles and Documents folder.
Only way you can Upload file to Server and Make browser list Using Tableview.
The following are the possible ways to do this.

You app runs in a Sandbox environment. This means the app can only access files and directories within its own contents.

I am new to building iphone apps. Have been searching the net on how to create a file dialog. That will allow me to select either images or videos to be uploaded to a website.
If this was a .NET application I would use the FileDialog on my winforms view.
Your help is much appreciated.
Take a look at the UINavigationController, UITableViewController and NSFileManager classes for building a file system browser, which reads the contents of the app's ~/Documents folder and allows "drilling down" into subdirectories.
I suggest using a UITableView for holding files, NSFileManager for learning how to manipulate files stored on the iPhone, and then using HTML POST requests (depending on the site) to push the data to the site. Go find these in the developer documentation!
i am developing an iPad application. in this application i am downloading the pdf from web. is it possible to open this pdf from another readers like adobe. i am saving the pdf in my custom directory.
if so how can i code in my application to open the pdf from another application
You can export your PDF to other application via the UIDocumentInteractionController.
Otherwise as #Björn Kaiser said, each application's storage is jailed and cannot be accessed by other application.
No other App can access your App's directories.
I imported pdf file to iphone device using iTunes. I verified that the pdf file stored in 'root/user/media/books' path. Can i read this file in my program?
Is there any way to read the file? Please Help me.
Thanks in advance.
The SDK doesn’t provide any access to the books (including PDFs) in the user’s media library. For your app to read a PDF that was added via iTunes, it needs to be added to your app specifically, using the iTunes file sharing malarkey (look up “UIFileSharingEnabled” for more information on that). You can file an enhancement request with Apple to try to get them to add support for accessing the user’s book library, but don’t count on it.
Here is a guide on how to view a pdf on the screen. Here is a previous post about how to parse a pdf using CGPDFScanner. Hope that helps!
In a new app, I plan to let users download their own files and stored them inside iPhone. The process is typically:
iPhone present a web page by UIWebView, in which there are several links to .zip files
the user browser the page and click on one of the .zip file link
iPhone downloads the file into the iPhone document folder, closes WebView, acknowledges the user when download is complete
How can that be done? Thanks
You'll need to handle the click of the link yourself by capturing the request on your UIWebViewDelegate implementation, and then downloading the file with NSURLRequest asynchronously. This question is essentially the same thing at that point. If you want to unzip, have a look at this question.
