Is it possible to view a PDF file from an URL link using Quick Look Framework

Question

As the title says, I need to display a PDF file stored in a remote server without downloading it on the device just by using an URL link. Is it possible to do it by using the Quick Look framework?

I am using this code below:

- (void)openDocument {
    QLPreviewController *docPreviewController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] init];
    [docPreviewController setDataSource:self];
    [docPreviewController setDelegate:self];
    [docPreviewController setCurrentPreviewItemIndex:sender.tag];
    [self.destinationViewController presentViewController:docPreviewController animated:true completion:nil];
}

- (NSInteger)numberOfPreviewItemsInPreviewController:(QLPreviewController *)controller {
    return 1;
}

- (id<QLPreviewItem>)previewController:(QLPreviewController *)controller previewItemAtIndex:(NSInteger)index {
    return [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"http://www.domain.com/file.pdf"];
}

But I have this problem in the console:

UIDocumentInteractionController: invalid scheme https.  Only the file scheme is supported.

Answer 1

I have resolved by using UIDocumentInteractionController

UIDocumentInteractionController *viewer = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
viewer.delegate = self;
[viewer presentPreviewAnimated:YES];
