I would like to take in various file formats, such as HTML or XML documents, process them, and output an ePub document from within my iOS application.
Are there any libraries or example applications that can create properly formatted ePub documents on iOS?
You can had a look on sigil which is on C/C++ language. You can export xcode project
from this source code. You can find a manual on their source code. I am also working on Epub publishing. I did not found any suitable library on objective c that export on epub format. So I am doing it manually. If you want to do it manually, this doc will help you to understand the structure of an Epub file.

as I state on the title, I want to develop a project that having ability to open PDF file within the App (React Native), then later we can add annotation, notes, and sign on the PDF (put writing).
The pdf is from the server, so I assume we can call some kind of library that can open pdf and edit and have those features.
I tried browsing about it and found that PSPDFKit can be a solution, but the pricing is pretty much expensive. Is there any other library that can be use for this purpose?
I read the following posts: JavaFX: Display PDF in WebView, Displaying pdf in JavaFX
But there occur some problems for me:
The links of JPedalFX do not work any more and I can't find example codes on the web.
I don't want to use Swing-components in an JavaFX-application.
The solution with PDF JS doesn't work either, because Maven is used in the project and I don't want to put the library in the resources folder.
JxBrowser would be a possible solution but cost too much.
Any ideas?
I'm doing an internship for an IT company which needs a document application for its firmware docs (md files).
The request was to maintain these md files and to convert them to rst format (I used pandoc). So now I have a configured Sphinx application with only rst files. The problem now is that some rst have links to SVG images, and I have to use the latex builder of Sphinx to convert them to PDFs.
I've searched around and I found this solution from 2 years ago, which was essentially what I was looking for: https://sites.google.com/site/nickfolse/home/sphinx-latexpdf-output-with-svg-images. I tried to implement it but I'm not an expert with GNU makefiles and I don't know if the current version of Sphinx allows it or if it is out there an easy workaround, so the thing didn't succeed.
Does someone have a viable solution for this?
At this time, SVG is still not supported. I work around it in Pyramid docs by exporting the original file (OmniGraffle) to both SVG and PNG.
In docs/narr/router.rst:
.. image:: ../_static/pyramid_request_processing.*
And we place images in docs/_static.
The HTML uses SVG and the PDF uses PNG.
There is available the Sphinx SVG to PDF converter extension to automatically convert from SVG to PDF.
I want to create html file by which i could read any PDF file by providing the source of that PDF file. How can i do this by using only html5?
For example i want read a pdf file which is available in C drive so scr="http://virdir/mypdf.pdf".
I want something like this.
You want to use the developing HTML 5 File API. Mozilla has a good explanation, and you can also refer directly to the spec.
Since PDF is a binary format, you will probably want to use FileReader.readAsBinaryString().
Parsing and rendering (e.g. to a canvas) a PDF in JavaScript is possible, but it would be very challenging.
Here is an open source pdf reader written in javascript.
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js
There are APIs available to play with. It comes built into Firefox browser and has good support from Mozilla community.
I want to convert html to pdf dynamically in objective c.
what is the best way to convert it, so that it maintains its look same as html.
Thanks in advance.

UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToFile will help you to create a PDF file which shows your web content. Read through the documentation and create your own solution or just follow the tutorials I found:
Convert Html or UIWebView to pdf in iPhone or iPad
Making a PDF from a UIWebView
I have used this Haru open source library, it is quite simple and useful for creating pdfs http://libharu.org/wiki/Main_Page
Objective-C is a programming language, it doesn’t know anything about HTML or PDF per se. How to do this depends on the framework you’re using. I’m assuming here you’re using Cocoa on OS X.
There you can load your HTML into a WebView provided by WebKit and then use the NSView method dataWithPDFInsideRect: to render it as PDF. I haven’t tested this, but maybe you’ll have to add the web view to a window before you can query the PDF data.
