Make sure not to put the file extension as part of the file name in the NSString so if your PDF is mypdfdoc.pdf, just put mypdfdoc in there. That was a mistake i made.

Great tutorial, thanks for the help!

How do I enable zooming on a pdf-file?

[supertecnoboff]

@dawitgabor You can enable this feature in the Interface builder section of Xcode. In your view, click on your UIWebView and on the right look through the properties tab. Then change the zooming settings.

I have to say you rocked this video! I have been creating native web apps for BB and android but wanted to get them on iOS. I have been reading and watching everything on the web but no luck until I came across your video. I took my current html changed the CSS so the images were sized right and I got an app. What are the next steps to put it on a device or in the app store?

BTW I subscribed to your channel :)

@Smielle1 Well one simple way is to make a new UiView file which you load when for example a button is pressed on the homescreen. So that takes the user to a different interface with the UIWebView. Then on the new UIView add a "Done" button. Once the users presses that they god back to the homescreen. If the user decides to go back to the view with the UiWebView again, the UIWebView will reload the web content from the start... Thats one approach although not the best approach there is.
