Attention:

TPPDF is an Open Source side-project of techprimate. As we are currently working on multiple other projects, we only have limited time for fixing bugs and enhancing TPPDF.

That's why any issue reporting and especially Pull Requests are very welcome!

If you need professional support for your company, you can reach out to @philprimes on Twitter or on our website techprimate.com! This is mainly for custom or high-priority requests, therefore we won't publish a consulting pricing for now.

For everything else, please see Communication and this message. Thank you!

What's new?

Table cell content wraps on page breaks
Hyperlinks in attributed strings

Installation

Requirements

As of TPPDF 2.0 and Swift 5.2, we do not actively support older Swift versions anymore. If you still need an older Swift version, see the following table for their respective branches. Bleed development version can be found on the develop branch.

Language	Branch	Pod version	Xcode version	iOS version
Swift 4.2	swift-4.2	>= 1.3.x	Xcode 10.0+	iOS 8.3+
Swift 4.1	swift-4.1	>= 1.0.x	Xcode 9.3	iOS 8.3+
Swift 3.0	swift-3.0	>= 0.2.x	Xcode 8	iOS 8.0+
Swift 2.3	swift-2.3	0.1.5	Xcode 8, Xcode 7.3.x	iOS 8.0+
Swift 2.2	swift-2.2	0.1.4	Xcode 7.3.x	iOS 8.0+

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate TPPDF into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'TPPDF'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate TPPDF into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "techprimate/TPPDF" ~> 1.4

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built TPPDF.framework into your Xcode project

Swift Package Manager

Swift Package Manager is now supported for iOS. macOS support is a requested feature and work-in-progress.

Linux support is not available, as UIKit is not available on linux.

Once you have your Swift package set up, adding TPPDF as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/techprimate/TPPDF", .upToNextMajor(from: "2.0.0"))
]

Manual Installation

As Xcode project configurations are getting pretty complex, it is recommended to use a dependency manager. If you still want to add TPPDF manually, please see issue #97.

Apps using TPPDF

If you are using TPPDF in your app and want to be listed here, simply create a pull request or let me know on twitter or via github. I am always curious who is using my projects :)
