I am creating a PDF using UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToFile in iOS, where I want to add URL links to other pages as well as other websites. Below is the code : here pdfObj is a custom class which draws text to PDF. After Succesfull creation of PDF nothing happens if I clicks the area for "GO to Chapter1" and "GO to URL"
UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToFile(documentDirectoryFilename, CGRectZero, nil);
UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage();
//Page 1
UIGraphicsAddPDFContextDestinationAtPoint(@"Chapter1", CGPointMake(0, 0));
//other draw pdf data....
//Page 2
UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage();
//other draw pdf data....
[pdfObj addHeaderText:@"Go to Chapter 1" atFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 44)];
UIGraphicsSetPDFContextDestinationForRect(@"Chapter1", CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 44));
[pdfObj addHeaderText:@"Go to URL" atFrame:CGRectMake(550, 550, 200, 44)];
UIGraphicsSetPDFContextURLForRect([NSURL urlWithString:@"http://www.myURL.com"], CGRectMake(550, 550, 200, 44));
UIGraphicsEndPDFContext();
Please let me know what mistake I am making here
check the answer to this question it works:Embed hyperlink in PDF using Core Graphics on iOS
- (void) drawTextLink:(NSString *) text inFrame:(CGRect) frameRect
{
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGAffineTransform ctm = CGContextGetCTM(context);
// Translate the origin to the bottom left.
// Notice that 842 is the size of the PDF page.
CGAffineTransformTranslate(ctm, 0.0, 842);
// Flip the handedness of the coordinate system back to right handed.
CGAffineTransformScale(ctm, 1.0, -1.0);
// Convert the update rectangle to the new coordiante system.
CGRect xformRect = CGRectApplyAffineTransform(frameRect, ctm);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:text];
UIGraphicsSetPDFContextURLForRect( url, xformRect );
CGContextSaveGState(context);
NSDictionary *attributesDict;
NSMutableAttributedString *attString;
NSNumber *underline = [NSNumber numberWithInt:NSUnderlineStyleSingle];
attributesDict = @{NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName : underline, NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor blueColor]};
attString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:url.absoluteString attributes:attributesDict];
[attString drawInRect:frameRect];
CGContextRestoreGState(context);
}
