I'm developing an application where i need to create pdf file based on user input and the save it to server so that i can again show in my application.

i have successfully created the pdf file at document folder but how to save it in server location? i have two thoughts

  1. should i have to create a network connection and the just give the url at path

  2. or just set tha path which will server url in path

    enter code here

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *saveDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *saveFileName = @"mypdffiel1.pdf";
NSString *newFilePath = [saveDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:saveFileName];
CreatePDFFile(CGRectMake(0, 0, 612, 792),filename,text1 ,text2);

what should change in path variable so that it can save in server url

You cannot directy save files online. You should create a webservice (php, java, etc.) that allows you to POST your pdf and stores it.

You will be forced to use url connection and to set the correct request and headers. This other question could help.

you have to consider whether you have to use HTTP POST method or FTP method based on your server setup.If you want to use HTTP Post , see the link
