NSMainbundle to NSDocumentsDirectory - Copying a PDF

Question

I was trying to copy an existing pdf file in the NSMainBundle and into the NSDocumentsDirectory. This file is later loaded into the uiwebview. I can't seem to understand why it doesnt copy the file. Any help on this?

 NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( NSDocumentDirectory,
                                                     NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *resourceDBFolderPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"document" ofType:@"pdf"];


[fileManager copyItemAtPath:resourceDBFolderPath toPath:documentsDirectory error:&error];



NSArray *path1 = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *basePath =  [path1 objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *fileLoc = [basePath stringByAppendingString:@"document.pdf"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fileLoc];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webview loadRequest:request];

Replace your code source with the following:

NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( NSDocumentDirectory,
                                                     NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documentDirectoryPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"document.pdf"];
NSString *resourceDBBundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"document" ofType:@"pdf"];

[fileManager copyItemAtPath:resourceDBBundlePath toPath:documentDirectoryPath error:&error];

As mentioned by FD_ Your destination path need to include your file name.
