i'm looking for pdf overlay feature to be implemented in iOS app, if whether its possible with libs free or even paid to have an touch overlay on PDF page within an app?
what i'm trying to do is i have a map which is train map and i want to have the map as pdf and any touch on station brings up info on each station.
is that posssible or what is other way to go forward open to every opinion!!!
i saw some other questions but none directed like this i.e.
Overlay Image above Embedded pdf
can any one tell me if its actually possible in objctive C code?
needs to work as offline app.
You can use Google Maps Static API (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/) to return an image on the map and then convert it to pdf.

I would like to use use Google Map in my MAC application.
I found the iOS SDK of Google Maps but not for OS X.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
Below is the way I find out that can work:
Call a API and pass the location coordinate for both annotation.
Now Server side a html form is generate using javascript and create a page which is showing the 2 annotation and line connecting them.
In Api Response I will get the URL of that html page.
I will show this page in UIWebView.
I want to know is there any other way I can achieve this.
I want to distribute application outside the mac app store and to distribute outside mac store I need to sign app with Developer ID which does not support the MAPs.
I didn't find anything related to this that's why I created this thread.
Thanks in advance.
I recently ported the Mapbox iOS SDK over to OS X. It has a lot of the features of MapKit, but it’s open source and should also work in a developer-signed application such as yours. To use the Mapbox OS X SDK, download the latest release from the GitHub repository (look for releases beginning with “osx-”) and follow the instructions in README.md. An API reference is included.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
To display the annotations on-screen, you’ll need the MGLPointAnnotation and MGLPolyline classes. You can move the point annotations dynamically by setting their coordinate properties. The polyline, however, is immutable; to change its path, remove the existing polyline and add a new one with the new coordinates.
You will have to make it with WebKit and the Google Maps API.
MapKit is available in OS X 10.9 Mavericks: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/MapKit/Reference/MapKit_Framework_Reference/index.html
There are of course many ways of hiding the fact that you're using WebKit but if they violate Apple's or Google's TOS then submission to the App Store won't be possible.
Hope this will be helpful!
We are working on creating mobile app using sencha touch frame work. one of our requirements is when user hits view pdf, the user entered form details which stored locally has json format should be rendered and view as pdf and also it can be saved as a pdf locally.
i found that itext is one of the java library which is widely used for pdf generation. but i couldn't find any article inter relating both sencha touch and itext. let me know is that a possible way or any other method available for json to pdf generation in sencha touch.
Regards
java has nothing to do with javascript.
A quick Google search of "javascript pdf generation" lists some libraries that may work but getting them to run on a device might be more trouble than its worth id look at submitting the form results to a server and downloading the resultant PDF.
this might point you in the right direction:

I am writing a Boxee App and I want to list all albums for a picasa account.
The problem I'm facing is that I have no idea of how to list albums and photos in the Boxee app.
The application itself should be fairly simple:
First a main screen where all your albums are listed, then when you click an album you see all your photos in a grid of say 4x5 photos
When you click a photo you go in to a view where one photo is displayed on the whole screen where back and forward lets users go back and forth in that gallery.
I have wrote a simple wrapper arround the gdata photos Python API which I was aiming to use so hopefully all the heavy lifting will be done by the gdata API.
Does anybody have some good links to example applications or tutorials to one or more of the features I want in the application?
Boxee uses an XML based approach for describing an application's interface. You'll need one XML for each screen of your application and you'll connect them together using the API.
You would build this XML screens using various controls defined by the XML API. Basically a control (a button, a list, a label, etc) is described as an XML node with attributes and child nodes. You can check a list of all the available controls here: http://developer.boxee.tv/UI_Controls
You can use the Python API to control various properties of the UI elements you coded in your XML files. For example you could fill a list with photos taken from a server, you could change the label on a button, load another screen and much more. Here are the Python API specs: http://developer.boxee.tv/Python_API
Make sure you read trough the Boxee dev pages and also remember that Boxee originated from the XBMC project so most of the documentation regarding XBMC skinning (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Skinning_XBMC) also applies to Boxee.
Another thing that might help you is looking at other apps. Find an app that is somehow similar to what you want to do, find it in Boxee's app folder and peek at the code there.
I am working on the PDF App for iPad and facing an issue: how to search a text in PDF and also how to highlight that text?
Yours is the same big problem I'm having. My understanding is that, currently on iOS 4.0, the main public API is CGPDF . It allows us to parse PDF, and with it we can search strings in it. See also this Quartz 2D document. It also allows us to render it on the screen using CGContextDrawPage. However, it's not yet possible to get the position of a text in the rendered image. (On OS X it's possible using PDFKit.)
So, I'm afraid that you need to implement the PDF spec yourself to get that info. I think GoodReader etc. is working very very hard to implement these.
I had the same trouble recently and then I found FastPDFKit. Have tested the package and it's working great.

Where I have to start if I want to load only a part of an image or pdf. So I would like to render only a part from a pdf file. How can this be done?
I would imagine that you will need to work with images rather than PDF (or convert any PDF to an image first)
Some options:
1) You could build a viewer that sends the screen size coordinates and a point on the image that requires viewing to return only the part of the image required.
2) Have a look the iPhone seadragon app (free). This uses Microsoft seadragon and Deepzoom technology that you could look at to service large images for zooming. more info on seadragon here: http://www.seadragon.com/
