NSURL, creating pdfs

I'm trying to create some pdfs from pdfs added to my iphone as an exercise for myself in quartz and just getting better with the language. So I have this so far to get the multiple pdfs on my phone:

    NSError *error;
    NSString *bundleRoot = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
    NSArray *dirContents = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:bundleRoot error:&error];
    NSArray *onlyPDFs = [dirContents filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"self ENDSWITH '.pdf'"]];

How can I convert this to a NSURL object, or an array of NSURL objects? I've tried some different things like URLForResource, initWithString, but I don't think those are correct. Thanks.

Solution

  • You could do something like this to generate an NSURL for each PDF in onlyPDFs:

    for (NSString *p in onlyPDFs) {
    NSString *name = [p stringByDeletingPathExtension];
    NSURL *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:name withExtension:@"pdf"];
}
