Q: 

Download pdf throgh web view how to do?

In my app i have shown pdf from the remote server using webview and i have to add a action to download the pdf and save it into iPhone how to do...Using Php i tried to force download pdf,which works in browser(desktop) not in device

Can any one help me...

+1  A: 

The (unjailbroken) iPhone's Safari cannot access the local file system, so it's impossible to download anything.

(The iPad, OTOH, may support it.)

Yes you can save the PDF, but only your app can read it. Saving as image requires the file to be an image first.
