PDF UIView_2_PDF

Overview

Description

Create UIView objects using any method you like, including interface builder with Auto-layout and size classes enabled. Then generate a PDF directly from those views!

Requirements

XCode 6.4+, iOS 7.0+

Installation

In XCode, select 'Add Files To Project', and select RP_UIView_2_PDF.h

Usage

Make a xib file. Your xib file should only consist of UILabels and/or UIImageViews and/or other UIView subviews. Use views that are 1 pixel high or wide to create lines. Set the tag of a UIView to 1 to have it draw filled or zero to draw as just a 1 pixel bordered box.
Load your xib like so

UIView *pageOne = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"NibNameOne" owner:self options:nil].lastObject;
UIView *pageTwo = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"NibNameTwo" owner:self options:nil].lastObject;

Then generate your PDF like this

NSString *tempFilepath = [RP_UIView_2_PDF generatePDFWithPages:@[pageOne, pageTwo];

See demo project for details.

Minor Refactoring. Simple Modernisation and more concise/direct ReadMe.

Hi Rob!

A client is asking me for some PDF related tasks and I remembered a while back that you submitted this code to the public domain. It's still impressive today and I figured I should make some sort of contribution to the effort.

Granted, all I have done is clean it up a bit. The logic is still sound. One thing I did notice, is that the preview controller wasn't working properly in modern devices, so just using web view for now. It's only a demo project anyway. The real meat, is in your class that does the drawing.

Other changes include simple modernisation of the build settings, courtesy of Xcode 7 wizard. Also enabled size classes.

I cut down the read me file so that it's easier on the eye and straight to the point. Hope that's ok. Also removed the debugging feature because it seemed to only be necessary during development i.e. the code is stable now.

If your happy with all this then please merge into your master branch. I look forward to any updates you do to this code. I'm 'watching' this repo so I will be notified!
