无法查看使用Alamofire下载的PDFView IOS中的PDF-SWIFT

Question

I am trying to download a pdf file from the server and display it in PDFView in ios. I believe that I have successfully downloaded (file size is 1.1Mb) it and stored it in the DocumentsDirectory. However, when i try and display this pdf file in PDFView I see a blank viewcontroller. Below is my code:

I know that my UIView objects a properly connected and working. For instance, if I replace 'docURL' with the following file URL i can view a PDF file:

 Bundle.main.url(forResource: "paper", withExtension: "pdf")

SWIFT:

 let destination: DownloadRequest.DownloadFileDestination = { _, _ in
        let documentsURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
        let fileURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("pig.pdf")

        return (fileURL, [.removePreviousFile, .createIntermediateDirectories])
    }


    Alamofire.download(containerPDFUrl, to: destination).response { response in
        print("response downLoadPDFDocument: \(response)")

        if response.error == nil, let pdfFilePath = response.destinationURL?.path {

            print("inside DispatchQueue")
            print("pdfFilePath: \(pdfFilePath)")

            DispatchQueue.main.async{
                // Instantiate PDFDocument
                let docURL = URL.init(string: pdfFilePath)
                let pdfDoc = PDFDocument.init(url: docURL!)
                self.myPDFView.document = pdfDoc

            }
        }else{
            print("response.error : \(response.error )")
        }
    }

Console:

Answer 1

PDFDocument(url: URL) only accepts a file URL , but in your code you say:

let fileURL = URL.init(string: self.containerPDFUrl)
let pdfDoc = PDFDocument.init(url: fileURL!)

You say that self.containerPDFUrl is of the type

https://example.org/rab1Mpub.pdf

But that is not a file url. I believe you intended:

let pdfDoc = PDFDocument(url: self.destination.0)

But let fileURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("pig.png") should likely be let fileURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("pig.pdf")

Update

if response.error == nil, let pdfFilePath = response.destinationURL?.path {

        print("inside DispatchQueue")
        print("pdfFilePath: \(pdfFilePath)")

        DispatchQueue.main.async{
            // Instantiate PDFDocument
            let docURL = URL.init(string: pdfFilePath)
            let pdfDoc = PDFDocument.init(url: docURL!)
            self.myPDFView.document = pdfDoc

        }
 }

There's no need to deal with paths here. Simply take the destinationURL and init the document from that. For example:

if response.error == nil, let pdfURL = response.destinationURL? {

        DispatchQueue.main.async{
            // Instantiate PDFDocument
            let pdfDoc = PDFDocument(url: pdfURL)
            self.myPDFView.document = pdfDoc

        }
}
