Answer 1

If you want to calculate the size of your resource file in run-time basically you can do the following (omitting error checks etc):

// Get path for resource file
NSString *resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myPDFFile" ofType:@"pdf"];
// Get file attributes
NSDictionary* attributeDict = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:resourcePath error:nil];
// Get size attribute
NSNumber* fileSizeObj = [attributeDict objectForKey:NSFileSize];
long long fileSizeVal = [fileSizeObj lonLongValue];
