Thanks from a neophyte. Yes... I had hoped that I could 'magically' create a PDF from a text string. I noticed that you can select 'text' from a PDF document. I thought you could likewise create a PDF from text (NSString).
BTW: My client wanted to render text as a PDF on his iPhone.

CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider() expects valid PDF data to be pulled from the data provider (and thus from the data object your passing). If you need to create PDF data, then you will need to use PDFKit or Core Graphics to create valid PDF data by drawing the text strings into a pdf context. Then you can get PDF data to do additional work with (including creating a CGPDFDocument with the PDF data in it). -- David Duncan Apple DTS Animation and Printing _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
