PSPDFDocumentSharingViewController

Objective-C


@interface PSPDFDocumentSharingViewController
    : PSPDFBaseViewController <PSPDFStyleable, PSPDFOverridable>

Swift

class PDFDocumentSharingViewController : PDFBaseViewController, Styleable, Overridable

Displays an interface that allows the user to pick a set of options that determine how a set of PDF files should be processed before being shared to a destination. By default, the user can choose the file type, the page range, and how annotations should be handled.

Documents can be shared to different Destinations specified by the PSPDFDocumentSharingDestination enumeration. By default, the PDFDocumentSharingViewController will share toPSPDFDocumentSharingDestinationActivity, which will let the user pick the ultimate action for the generated documents via a UIActivityViewController instance (which can be customized via the -activityViewControllerForSharingItems:sender: method.).

A single PDFDocumentSharingViewController instance can offer multiple destinations to share the documents to to the user — they will be represented on a segmented control on the navigation bar of the sharing view controller. However, a Share can only be performed to a single destination at a time. To add Destinations to the list the user can choose from, create a PSPDFDocumentSharingConfiguration object and set the appropriate value on its builder’s destination property, then add that configuration to the sharingConfigurations property on the sharing view controller.

Please note that Destinations are exclusive per sharing view controller instance, so you can’t have 2 or more configurations with the same destination set.

Once the instance has been configured appropriately, call -presentFromViewController:sender: on it to present the UI.

Declaration
Objective-C

@property (nonatomic) PSPDFDocumentSharingAnnotationOptions selectedAnnotationOption;
Swift

var selectedAnnotationOption: DocumentSharingConfiguration.AnnotationOptions { get set }
selectedDestination
Returns the destination that’s currently active on the view controller.

Note
When setting this property, the new destination needs to be defined as the destination of one of the sharingConfigurations objects.
Declaration
Objective-C

@property (nonatomic) PSPDFDocumentSharingDestination _Nonnull selectedDestination;
Swift

var selectedDestination: DocumentSharingConfiguration.Destination { get set }
delegate
The document sharing controller delegate.

Note
When sharing is invoked via the default PSPDFKit UI, this will be set to the presenting PDFViewController instance.
Declaration
Objective-C

@property (nonatomic, weak) id<PSPDFDocumentSharingViewControllerDelegate> _Nullable delegate;
Swift

@IBOutlet weak var delegate: PDFDocumentSharingViewControllerDelegate? { get set }
visiblePagesDataSource
Delegate used for getting the list of visible pages.

Note

This protocol is implemented on PDFViewController.

Note

When sharing multiple documents, this delegate is ignored and all pages will be shared by default.
Declaration
Objective-C

@property (nonatomic, weak) id<PSPDFVisiblePagesDataSource> _Nullable visiblePagesDataSource;
shareablePageRange
The range from which the user can pick to share pages from the document. This range is only valid when the selectedPageSelectionOption is set to DocumentSharingConfiguration.PageOptions.range.

@discussion When sharing multiple documents, the value of this property is ignored.
Declaration
Objective-C

@property (nonatomic) NSRange shareablePageRange;
Swift

var shareablePageRange: NSRange { get set }
checkIfControllerHasOptionsAvailableAndCallDelegateIfNot
Checks if the controller has options at all - and simply calls the delegate if not. This prevents showing the controller without any options and just a commit button. Will return YES if the controller has options available, NO if the delegate has been called.
Declaration
Objective-C

@property (nonatomic, readonly) BOOL checkIfControllerHasOptionsAvailableAndCallDelegateIfNot;
Swift

var checkIfControllerHasOptionsAvailableAndCallDelegateIfNot: Bool { get }

-presentFromViewController:sender:
