iPhone UIWebView PDF Page Jump

Question

I want to view a local PDF (in my iPhone app) and be able to jump to a specific page. Seems like the UIWebView is the way to go, however, I can't find any information on jumping to specific pages. Is this impossible? Are there any other techniques I can use?

thanks, Howie

Answer 1

You can try using Javascript. See this link for more details. You'll want to use something along the lines of @"window.scrollTo(0, x);", where x is some value you determined by playing around with the WebView.

Answer 2

Alternatively to an UIWebView, you can use the Quartz API :http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_pdf/dq_pdf.html

It's more complicated, but you should be able to do whatever you want.
