Save contents of a UIWebView to a pdf file

[Belkin_MAC]

Hello,

Is there a way to save the contents of UIWebView to a pdf file?
I've tried searching for solutions in the web and I've only seen tutorials that would load a pdf file to a UIWebView. If loading the contents of a pdf file to a UIWebView could be done, then I believe that there is also a way to save the contents of a UIWebView to a pdf file.

Do anyone here have a solution?

Thanks.

If the content of UIWebView can be saved as image file, then we can create a pdf with the help of image. But do not know how to save the content of webview as image file as the content size would be dynamic in nature?

Yes. I'm also looking at that option but I also don't know how to do that.

Thanks JC. This can help if there is a way that we can save the contents of UIWebview to a UIImage variable.

To save the webview contents as an image use the following code.

	CGSize sixzevid=CGSizeMake(1024,1100);
	UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(sixzevid);
	[webview.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
	UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
	UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
	
	NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(viewImage);
	
	NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask,YES);
	NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];	
	NSString *pathFloder = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",@"new.png"]];
	NSString *defaultDBPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:pathFloder];

	
	[imageData writeToFile:defaultDBPath atomically:YES];

After converting it in to an image you can easily convert it as pdf.
