With the inclusion of PDFKit in iOS 11, this project is no longer supported or maintained. It is only here for historical reasons.
The UXReader PDF Framework for iOS is a fully open-source iOS PDF Framework based on the open-source PDFium library.
- Document searching (with options).
- Single page horizontal and vertical scrolling.
- Double page horizontal and vertical scrolling.
- Right to Left and Left to Right UI and document presentation.
- Table of Contents (aka PDF outline or bookmark) extraction.
- Page text extraction (by co-ordinates or character index).
- Page links (goto page and URL).
- Page labels ("Cover", "i", "ii", etc).
- Document metadata extraction (Creator, etc).
- Local NSURL, NSData and custom document data sources.
- Experimental remote NSURL document data source.
- Custom overlay rendering object support (watermarking).
- Opening password protected documents.
- Device rotation and all orientations.
The code is universal, written in Objective-C++ (works with Swift or plain Objective-C) and does not require storyboards or NIBs (all UI elements are generated in code with graphics resources bundled in the framework). It runs on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 9.0 and up and is ready to be fully internationalized.
Please see the HOWTO for getting started and the sample Reader project on how to use the UXReader framework (class and method documentation is still on the todo list).
