Programmatically Generate PDF from HTML on iPhone

Question

I am looking for a way to programmatically (in obj-c) generate a PDF file from a local html file. I am dynamically generating the html from user inputs, I need to create the PD

Answer 1

I've never tried this so I have no idea if it'll work, but how about loading the HTML into a UIWebView, and then make the view draw itself into a PDF context? E.g.

UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(...)];
[webview loadHTMLString:html baseURL:...];

Then:

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webview {
    CGPDFContextRef pdfContext = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL(...);
    [webview.layer drawInContext:pdfContext];
    ...
}
