Refer this code.

NSString *text = @"this is textField's text";
NSMutableData *pdfData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfData, CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480), nil);
UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage();
[text drawInRect:UIGraphicsGetPDFContextBounds() withAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17]}];
UIGraphicsEndPDFContext();
NSString *file = @"file.pdf"; //this is the file name.
NSArray<NSURL *> *dir = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];
if (dir.count > 0){
    NSURL *path = [[dir firstObject] URLByAppendingPathComponent:file];
    [pdfData writeToFile:path.path atomically:false];
}

You can provide any formatting options you want in the withAttributes dictionary in the draw method.

And if you want multiple pages in your PDF just put this code in a loop

UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage();
[text drawInRect:UIGraphicsGetPDFContextBounds() withAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17]}];
UIGraphicsEndPDFContext();

and change the text that draws. You can draw images too if you want them in your PDF. Check the created PDF

Hope this helps.
