I want to convert a local html file on iPhone to a PDF document. I used the following code that I found on the Internet to generate a PDF file with a Picture, I tried to replace the image with an html file, but it failed. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance,
void CreatePDFFile (CGRect pageRect, const char *filename) {
CGContextRef pdfContext;
CFStringRef path;
CFURLRef url;
CFMutableDictionaryRef myDictionary = NULL;
path = CFStringCreateWithCString (NULL, filename,
kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
url = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath (NULL, path,
kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, 0);
CFRelease (path);
myDictionary = CFDictionaryCreateMutable(NULL, 0,
&kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks,
&kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
CFDictionarySetValue(myDictionary, kCGPDFContextTitle, CFSTR("My PDF File"));
CFDictionarySetValue(myDictionary, kCGPDFContextCreator, CFSTR("My Name"));
pdfContext = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL (url, &pageRect, myDictionary);
CFRelease(myDictionary);
CFRelease(url);
CGContextBeginPage (pdfContext, &pageRect);
CGContextStrokeRect(pdfContext, CGRectMake(50, 50, pageRect.size.width - 100, pageRect.size.height - 100));
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);
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));
CGContextEndPage (pdfContext);
CGContextRelease (pdfContext);
}

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
