How to open a pdf on the iPad from an AIR for iOS app
- by Dennis Flood
I am making an AIR for iOS app that can download pdfs. I do not want to display the pdf in the app itself but want the default pdf-viewer (iBooks) to launch and show the pdf. How can this be done.
I am aware that navigateToURL can be used to open a file with the uri scheme of iBooks. But i dont know how to tell iBooks to look in the app-directory of my app. (Or is there some secret directory to place the file in from within the app - where iBooks can find it)
Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated as this is somewhat of a show stopper.
