FastPdfKit

This repository contains the FastPdfKit library with a sample project. This library allows you to add some of the features of the FastPdf application to your own app, allowing it to support pdf documents. For more information, see the FastPdfKit website.

Update: 1.0.5 (May 19th, 2011)

Added two alternative methods in MFDocumentManager for text search and extraction. The methods are -(void)test_searchResultOnPage:(NSUInteger)page forSearchTerms:(NSString *)searchTerms -(void)test_wholeTextForPage:(NSUInteger)page They return the same results of the non _test versions. To use them, replace the occurrence of the older methods in the project, as exemplified in comments of TextSearchOperation's main() method and TextDisplayViewController's selectorWholeTextForPage: method.

Update: 1.0.4 (May 3rd, 2011)

Fixed the floating page issue, when the page is changed when zoomed in.

Update: 1.0.3 (May 2nd, 2011)

Better handling of the device orientation at startup.

Update: 1.0.2 (Apr 29th, 2011)

Fixed a bug where right drawables were not displayed.
Zoom animation for setPage:withZoomLevel:onRect: is now correct. Moreover, passing 0 as the level of zoom will let the application try to fit the rect on screen.
Fixed a crash when an annotation with an uri shorter than 7 char is found.
Added leftPageNumber and rightPageNumber variables to the MFDocumentViewController.
Fixed the autoMode on rotation not being considered at startup.

Update: 1.0.1 (Apr 27th, 2011)

Replaced URLForResource with pathForResources for 3.X compatibility;
Added (float)zoomScale and (CGPoint)zoomOffset methods to MFDocumentViewController to get zoom position;
Added support for CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider with method initWithDataProvider:(CGDataProviderRef)provider;
Option to remove shadow and render the page fullscreen on MFDocumentViewController using (float)padding and (BOOL)showShadow methods;
Fixed another crash with search results.

Update: 1.0 (Apr 19th, 2011)

Fixed ignored optional flag for the didChangeMode: callback.
Added didReceiveTapOnAnnotationRect:wither:onPage: method. This replaces didReceiveURIRequest:, but the latter is still called.

Update: 1.0RC2 (Apr 6th, 2011)

Fixed a crash when the searched string will not fit in the mini search view. Bookmarks not being saved when the popover is dismissed by clicking outside fixed. Double tap to zoom out will now work even when the zoom in has been performed manually. Added a callback to ask the documentviewcontroller delegate if a video will have to autoplay or not. Added page parameter to the double tap annotation callback. Removed a few unneeded logs and minor tweaks.

Update: 1.0RC1 (Mar 8th, 2011)

Kiosk application target added. Kiosk is a demo application with a customizable list of document to choose from. Viewer is enhanced with a scrollable list of page thumbnail and nicer interface.

How-To use on existing projects

Add required files to existing project

Download and extract the last sample project;
Open your existing app XCode project, open Project menu and choose Add to Project... ⌥⌘A, then locate FastPdfKit folder inside the downloaded package and click Add, be sure to check Copy items into destination group's folder (if needed);
Right click on the Framework group and select Add and then Existing Framework..., then choose QuartzCore.framework from the list and press Add;

Start coding

Choose or add a new controller (we will call it LauncherController) to manage pdf documents and in the .h file add and add lines 3 and 7 to the controller

 //  LauncherController.h
 #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
 @class MFDocumentManager;
 @interface LauncherController : UIViewController {

 }
 -(IBAction)actionOpenPlainDocument:(id)sender;
 @end

Add this code before the @implementation line in the .m file

 #import "MFDocumentManager.h"
 #import "DocumentViewController.h"
 #define DOC_PLAIN @"gitmanual"

Implement at least this method in the .m file

 //  LauncherController.m
 -(IBAction)actionOpenPlainDocument:(id)sender {
     NSString *documentPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:DOC_PLAIN ofType:@"pdf"];
     NSURL *documentUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:documentPath];	
     MFDocumentManager *aDocManager = [[MFDocumentManager alloc]initWithFileUrl:documentUrl];
     DocumentViewController *aDocViewController = [[DocumentViewController alloc]initWithDocumentManager:aDocManager];
     [self presentModalViewController:aDocViewController animated:YES]; 
     [aDocViewController release];
 }

Now call the above action to open the pdf. You can find the code above with comments in the BasicLauncherController class.

Within FastPdfKit folder there are many other sample controllers (in the Controllers group) where you can find methods (heavily commented) to manage every feature.
