Open pdf with other apps

Question

I am displaying a pdf file in an app. I want to show "open with" option on nag bar showing apps installed on iPhone that can open same pdf and if user selects any of the app (for e.g. pdf viewer) then the pdf should get open with pdf viewer app.

How do I do this?

Please help

Thanks in advance.

To open a file in an available application on the device, use the UIDocumentInteractionController class.

A document interaction controller, along with a delegate object, provides in-app support for managing user interactions with files in the local system. For example, an email program might use this class to allow the user to preview attachments and open them in other apps. Use this class to present an appropriate user interface for previewing, opening, copying, or printing a specified file.

There are a lot of questions around it on SO if you get stuck. search results for UIDocumentInteractionController
