I think that you are using the standard Canvas object.

WebView in iOS has built-in support for PDF documents. It will be easier to show the PDF file directly.

Click to expand...

This is what I am using, and the problem is there is no zoom available - hence I was thinking of grabbing the image shown by DrawPDF and placing it in a webview, but I just don't know how to do that.

Just tested it with WKWebView. Zoom works fine.

B4X:

Dim xui As XUI
File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "Document1.pdf", File.DirDocuments, "Document1.pdf")
WKWebView1.LoadUrl(xui.FileUri(File.DirDocuments, "Document1.pdf"))

1. If Document1.pdf has multiple pages, any way to copy one particular page to File.DirDocuments?
2. Why use File.DirDocuments?

1. No.

2. You cannot load local files from File.DirAssets with WKWebView.
