In this blog i have discussed how can we create pdf file in iOS swift.

To create Pdf file form html we are using TPPDF for more details about TPPDF please go through this link :-

Here are the list of commands which we will use to create document :-

Add Image :-

 pdf.addImage(.contentCenter, image: UIImage(named: "receiptLogo")!, size: CGSize(width: 50, height: 50))

Add Text :-

 pdf.addText(.contentCenter, text: "Please enter the text", lineSpacing: 1)

Add Spacing :-

pdf.addSpace(space: 2)

Add Table :-

        let orderDateAndTimeTableData: [[String]] = [
            ["25-Dec-2017", "9:19AM"]
        ]
        
        pdf.setFont(.contentLeft, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 5))
        let orderDateAndTimeTableDataAligment: [[TableCellAlignment]] = [
            [.center, .center]
        ]
        let orderDateAndTimeTableDataWidth: [CGFloat] = [
            0.5, 0.5
            
        ]
        let tableStyle = TableStyleDefaults.simple
        tableStyle.setCellStyle(row: 0, column: 0, style: TableCellStyle(fillColor: .white, textColor: .black, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 4.0)))
        tableStyle.setCellStyle(row: 0, column: 1, style: TableCellStyle(fillColor: .white, textColor: .black, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 4.0)))
        tableStyle.setCellStyle(row: 0, column: 0, style: TableCellStyle(fillColor: .white, textColor: .black, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 4.0)))
        
        pdf.addTable(data: orderDateAndTimeTableData, alignment: orderDateAndTimeTableDataAligment, relativeColumnWidth: orderDateAndTimeTableDataWidth, padding: 0, margin: 0, style: TableStyleDefaults.simple)

Write this function inside your file to create pdf and don't forget to import TPPDF :-

func generatePDF() {
        let pdf =  PDFGenerator(pageSize: CGSize(width: 230, height: 842))
        // let pdf = PDFGenerator(format: .a5)
        pdf.addImage(.contentCenter, image: UIImage(named: "receiptLogo")!, size: CGSize(width: 50, height: 50))
        pdf.addSpace(space: 10)
        pdf.addText(.contentCenter, text: "Testing PDF Receipt", lineSpacing:1)
        pdf.addSpace(space: 10)
        let orderDateAndTimeTableData: [[String]] = [
            ["25-Dec-2017", "9:24AM"]
        ]
        
        pdf.setFont(.contentLeft, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 5))
        let orderDateAndTimeTableDataAligment: [[TableCellAlignment]] = [
            [.center, .center]
        ]
        let orderDateAndTimeTableDataWidth: [CGFloat] = [
            0.5, 0.5
            
        ]
        let tableStyle = TableStyleDefaults.simple
        tableStyle.setCellStyle(row: 0, column: 0, style: TableCellStyle(fillColor: .white, textColor: .black, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 4.0)))
        tableStyle.setCellStyle(row: 0, column: 1, style: TableCellStyle(fillColor: .white, textColor: .black, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 4.0)))
        tableStyle.setCellStyle(row: 0, column: 0, style: TableCellStyle(fillColor: .white, textColor: .black, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 4.0)))
        
        pdf.addTable(data: orderDateAndTimeTableData, alignment: orderDateAndTimeTableDataAligment, relativeColumnWidth: orderDateAndTimeTableDataWidth, padding: 0, margin: 0, style: TableStyleDefaults.simple)
        
        let userName = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "username") as! String
        let storeDetails: [[String]] = [
            ["TRANSACTION : 12345678", "CASHIER : Nitin"]
        ]
        
        pdf.setFont(.contentLeft, font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 5))
        let storeDetailsAligment: [[TableCellAlignment]] = [
            [.center, .center]
        ]
        let storeDetailsWidth: [CGFloat] = [
            0.5, 0.5
        ]
        
        pdf.addTable(data: storeDetails, alignment: storeDetailsAligment, relativeColumnWidth: storeDetailsWidth, padding: 0, margin: 0, style: TableStyleDefaults.simple)
        pdf.addSpace(space: 10)
        pdf.addText(.contentCenter, text: "THANK YOU", lineSpacing:1)
        pdf.addSpace(space: 10)
        let url = pdf.generatePDFfile("example")    
}

Hope this will help Thank You
