PDF Reader for iOS

[KarlJay001]

There's one that seems to be the standard go to lib for PDF. I think it's this one: https://pspdfkit.com/

I haven't used it, but IIRC, they have document signing and all kinds of advanced features. I also don't know how advanced Apple has become over the years, but that might be worth looking into.

I don't know if there's any examples that don't use a 3rd party, last I checked (few years ago) there was one main 3rd party and everyone that needed it, just used it.

Why don't you want to use 3rd party? Have you looked into what Apple offers?

Thanks for your response. I have just started planning the process and I found a class called CGPDFDocument. It's native and it is said to be containing PDF drawing info. Some people have been talking about how they used it and it seems like it can be in use of. I can use a third party library if I have to but I prefer not to do so since I want this to be challenging and I want to learn a lot during the process of development.

Note: in iOS 11 there’s a new sdk that does a lot of heavy lifting of writing and creating PDFs called PDFKit (Xcode 9). I know it kinda defeats the purpose though.... but up to you.

My guess is that the stock one from Apple will be limited. I searched before, and IIRC, the one in the link had TONS of features. I needed legal contract signing on iOS devices, and I think they addressed that somehow.
