NSString * path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathforResource: @ "ResourceName" ofType: @ "pdf"]; or the path can be any http address too.
NSURL * url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: path];
NSURLRequest * request = [Request NSURLRequestWithURL: url];
UIWebView * webView = ....;
[webView loadRequest: request];
This should show pdf in webview. But it seems that you are asking to open the pdf file in another application, part of which I did not fully understand. Can you explain?
