It just occurred to me you officially cannot make an iPhone app that displays PDF documents - because rendering a PDF involves interpreting a program written in the PostScript programming language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript#The_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript#The_language).
- acon 17y agoNo. PDFs only uses the PostScript imaging model, not the PostScript programming language.
- abstractbill 17y agoAh, interesting - I always though PDF was just a superset of PostScript, but it looks like you are correct: http://www.adobe.com/print/features/psvspdf/ http://www.adobe.com/print/features/psvspdf/
- fierarul 17y agoYeah, but you won't see a TeX editor very soon.
- bad_user 17y agoPDFs generated by Adobe Acrobat have Javascript in them (for forms mostly). You are free to not interpret it though.
- naz 17y agoYou can render PDFs in a Webkit view.
