// Set the document to be displayed.
pdfView?.document = document
pdfView?.beginEditingLoadType([.text, .image, .path])
objective-c
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:pdfPath];
CPDFDocument *document = [[CPDFDocument alloc] initWithURL:url];

CPDFView *pdfView = [[CPDFView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
