UIWebView: How do I control page display with a PDF?

Question

I have a PDF loaded in an iPhone app using UIWebView and it displays page numbers when the pages are scrolled manually. But I've had no luck figuring out how to access those numbers and set the page displayed. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.

Answer 1

There's no way to do this using the methods available through the SDK. If you really need this functionality you can file a bug report.

Answer 2

Since you're using a uiwebview it can interpret javascript for navigation, even with a pdf. determine the pixel size of each page, and you can theoretically calculate your location on any given page and and navigate accordingly.

Answer 3

You can do this using Quartz Core Api in Iphone SDK.

Answer 4

You can use Quartz to do it, as explained here : http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_pdf/dq_pdf.html
