Time To Market
PSPDFKit supports blazingly fast PDF viewing, adding annotations, and filling out forms. Our battle-test-

tested codebase and incorporate all those advanced features into your own application. It’ll save you at
least one year in comparison with in-house development.
Easy Integration
Almost every aspect of PSPDFKit is customizable and designed from the ground up to oer maximum
flexibility. The developer-friendly API exposes a lot of features that’ll cover just about every use case you
can think of. Focus on the unique parts of your product and build on a well-documented codebase that
is heavily field tested and “just works”.
Introduction
PSPDFKit is the leading framework for displaying and annotating PDFs in iOS apps.
Features
•Viewing and navigating PDFs
•Full text search
•Annotating PDFs
•PDF Forms
■AcroForms
■Combo Box / List Box
■Form Toolbar
•Embedded Videos
•Share your PDFs via Email

CocoaPods
PSPDFKit is available via CocoaPods. Just add the ‘PSPDFKit’ pod and you’re good to go.
Binary
Simply drag the PSPDFKit.embeddedframework folder from the PSPDFKit distribution into your Xcode
project and enable the PSPDFKit.xcconfig as seen in FIG. 1 and you’re done.
If you prefer you can instead add the required frameworks manually.
If you have custom values set in your project settings “Other Linker Flags”, you need to clear them or
merge the entries with the contents of PSPDFKit.xcconfig.
FIG. 1: Integrating the binary distribution of PSPDFKit with your project
Getting Started - Integration
PSPDFKit is designed for Xcode 6.1+ (SDK 8) and fully supports iOS 8 and iOS 7.
#import <PSPDFKit/PSPDFKit.h>
// Create the PSPDFDocument.
// This is the container for your PDF file. It can also manage multiple files.
NSURL *documentURL = [NSBundle.mainBundle.resourceURL
URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Document.pdf"];
PSPDFDocument *document = [PSPDFDocument documentWithURL:documentURL];
// Create the PDF view controller.
// The configuration object is optional and allows further customization.
PSPDFViewController *pdfController = [[PSPDFViewController alloc] initWithDocument:document
configuration:[PSPDFConfiguration configurationWithBuilder:^(PSPDFConfigurationBuilder
*builder) {
builder.thumbnailBarMode = PSPDFThumbnailBarModeScrollable;
builder.pageLabelEnabled = NO;
}]];
// Present the PDF view controller within an UINavigationController to enable the toolbar.
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:pdfController];
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:NULL];
Objective C
Getting Started - Hello PDF!
A simple example for using PSPDFKit, first in Objective C:
import PSPDFKit
var fileURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().bundleURL.URLByAppendingPathComponent("Document.
pdf")
var document = PSPDFDocument(URL: fileURL)
var configuration = PSPDFConfiguration { (builder) -> Void in
builder.thumbnailBarMode = .Scrollable;
}
var pdfController = PDFViewController(document: document, configuration:
configuration)
self.presentViewController( UINavigationController( rootViewController:
pdfController), animated: true, completion: nil)
Swift
This and many more examples can be found in
the Examples folder in the PSPDFKit distribu-
tion.
Note that while PSPDFDocument accepts a
NSURL, this example only supports local PDF
documents. The PSPDFKiosk example
project (part of the PSPDFCatalog example
project) shows how to download PDFs on-
demand.
