copied!<p>Oops, you were asking about Cocoa and this is Cocoa Touch, but I'll leave it here as it may be some use (at least to others who find this later).</p> <p>You can draw things in the view and then put what's there into a pdf.</p> <p>This code will take what's drawn in a UIView (called sheetView here), put it into a pdf, then put that as an attachment in an email (so you can see it for now). You'll need to reference the protocol MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate in your header.</p> <pre><code>if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) { //set up PDF rendering context NSMutableData *pdfData = [NSMutableData data]; UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfData, sheetView.bounds, nil); UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage(); //tell our view to draw (would normally use setNeedsDisplay, but need drawn now). [sheetView drawRect:sheetView.bounds]; //remove PDF rendering context UIGraphicsEndPDFContext(); //send PDF data in mail message as an attachment MFMailComposeViewController *mailComposer = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease]; mailComposer.mailComposeDelegate = self;If [mailComposer addAttachmentData:pdfData mimeType:@"application/pdf" fileName:@"SheetView.pdf"]; [self presentModalViewController:mailComposer animated:YES]; } else { if (WARNINGS) NSLog(@"Device is unable to send email in its current state."); } </code></pre> <p>You'll also need this method...</p> <pre><code>#pragma mark - #pragma mark MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate protocol method //also need to implement the following method, so that the email composer can let //us know that the user has clicked either Send or Cancel in the window. //It's our duty to end the modal session here. -(void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error { [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; } </code></pre>
