I'm confused, though when you are talking about UIImages. Is it a UIImage, or is it a PDF? If it's a UIImage, you should be adding it as a png or a jpeg.

Ya, I was actually looking at the wrong chunk of code when I wrote this. I was looking at a section where I take a screenshot of whatever's on my screen at the moment, and then draw that image into the pdf file. It obviously does return a pdf file, you are correct.
So, I already had an NSData dataWithContentsOfFile in there, but, it isn't working. How do I retrieve the path and filename of the pdf? Here is my code on this (I threw some NSLogs in there and an NSString pointer (attachmentFileName) and an NSData pointer (attachmentPDF) so I could try some different things out, but, all were un-succsessful.
void CreatePDFFile (CGRect pageRect, const char *filename) {
// This code block sets up our PDF Context so that we can draw to it
CGContextRef pdfContext;
CFStringRef path;
CFURLRef url;
CFMutableDictionaryRef myDictionary = NULL;
// Create a CFString from the filename we provide to this method when we call it
path = CFStringCreateWithCString (NULL, filename,
kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
// Create a CFURL using the CFString we just defined
url = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath (NULL, path,
kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, 0);
CFRelease (path);
// This dictionary contains extra options mostly for 'signing' the PDF
myDictionary = CFDictionaryCreateMutable(NULL, 0,
&kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks,
&kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
CFDictionarySetValue(myDictionary, kCGPDFContextTitle, CFSTR("DOORMASTER PDF File"));
CFDictionarySetValue(myDictionary, kCGPDFContextCreator, CFSTR("My Name"));
// Create our PDF Context with the CFURL, the CGRect we provide, and the above defined dictionary
pdfContext = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL (url, &pageRect, myDictionary);
// Cleanup our mess
CFRelease(myDictionary);
CFRelease(url);
// Done creating our PDF Context, now it's time to draw to it
// Starts our first page
CGContextBeginPage (pdfContext, &pageRect);
// Draws a black rectangle around the page inset by 50 on all sides
CGContextStrokeRect(pdfContext, CGRectMake(50, 50, pageRect.size.width - 100, pageRect.size.height - 100));
// This code block will create an image that we then draw to the page
/*
const char *picture = "Picture";
CGImageRef image;
CGDataProviderRef provider;
CFStringRef picturePath;
CFURLRef pictureURL;
picturePath = CFStringCreateWithCString (NULL, picture,
kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
pictureURL = CFBundleCopyResourceURL(CFBundleGetMainBundle(), picturePath, CFSTR("png"), NULL);
CFRelease(picturePath);
provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithURL (pictureURL);
//CFRelease(pictureURL);
image = CGImageCreateWithPNGDataProvider (provider, NULL, true, kCGRenderingIntentDefault);
CGDataProviderRelease (provider);
CGContextDrawImage (pdfContext, CGRectMake(200, 200, 207, 385),image);
CGImageRelease (image);
// End image code
*/
// Adding some text on top of the image we just added
CGContextSelectFont (pdfContext, "Helvetica", 16, kCGEncodingMacRoman);
CGContextSetTextDrawingMode (pdfContext, kCGTextFill);
CGContextSetRGBFillColor (pdfContext, 0, 0, 0, 1);
const char *text = "Hello World!";
CGContextShowTextAtPoint (pdfContext, 260, 390, text, strlen(text));
// End text
// We are done drawing to this page, let's end it
// We could add as many pages as we wanted using CGContextBeginPage/CGContextEndPage
CGContextEndPage (pdfContext);
// We are done with our context now, so we release it
CGContextRelease (pdfContext);
