Ios save web page as pdf

Can someone point me in the right direction to save a pdf webpage? I already have a library for iOS pdf reader, but I need to somehow implement the function of saving any web page that the user is viewing in pdf format. I assume that I will have to use the browser in the application. Any thoughts?

This is not what I did, but it seems you are not the first to want to do something like this.

The last post in this link contains code to save the UIWebView as an image, and you should be able to convert this image to a PDF file. I do not take responsibility for the code, because I did not write it, just connecting you two :)

Here is the code for simplicity:

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];

Most likely, you will need to configure this, but hopefully this will help you move in the right direction.
