UIWebview remove padding / margin

I am loading a PDF into a UIWebview and I changed the background color to clear and set opaque to false. However now there is a padding or margin in my UIWebView that I would like to remove so the UIWebview is the screen.

I created a UIWebview like so:

let webview = UIWebView()
webview.frame = self.view.bounds
webview.scrollView.frame = webview.frame
webview.userInteractionEnabled = true
webview.scalesPageToFit = true
webview.becomeFirstResponder()
webview.delegate = self
webview.scrollView.delegate = self
webview.opaque = false
webview.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
self.view.addSubview(webview)
webview.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(URL:url))
webview.gestureRecognizers = [pinchRecognizer, panRecognizer]

and I applied this to the webViewDidFinishLoad method

func webViewDidFinishLoad(webView: UIWebView) {
        let padding = "document.body.style.margin='0';document.body.style.padding = '0'"
        webView.stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString(padding)
}

but there is still a padding or margin, it looks like this:

How do I fix this?

The Reason why I need this fixed is because I am going to be saving this UIWebView as a PDF and when I save it, that extra spacing is there also, here is my PDF generate code:

func drawPDFUsingPrintPageRenderer(printPageRenderer: UIPrintPageRenderer) -> NSData! {

        let data = NSMutableData()


        UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(data, CGRectZero, nil)


        UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage()


        printPageRenderer.drawPageAtIndex(0, inRect: UIGraphicsGetPDFContextBounds())


        UIGraphicsEndPDFContext()


        return data
    }

and more

let screenHeight = appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.bounds.size.height

        let heightStr = appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.bounds.size.height

        let height = heightStr

        let pages = ceil(height / screenHeight)

        let pdfMutableData = NSMutableData()

        UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfMutableData, appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.bounds, nil)

        for i in 0..<Int(pages)
        {

            if (CGFloat((i+1)) * screenHeight  > CGFloat(height)) {
                var f = appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.frame
                f.size.height -= ((CGFloat((i+1)) * screenHeight) - CGFloat(height));
                appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.frame = f
            }

            UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage()

            let currentContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

            appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPointMake(0, screenHeight * CGFloat(i)), animated: false)

            appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.layer.renderInContext(currentContext!)

        }

        UIGraphicsEndPDFContext()

Setting the scroll view frame to the web view frame will have no effect while the web view is at the origin and an unwanted effect otherwise.

Adjust the scroll view contentInset:

// set t,l,b,r to be negative CGFloat values that suit your content
webView.scrollView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(t,l,b,r);

This appears to fix my issue, not sure how well it work with other PDF documents (Portrait) mine is Landscape and it works fine.

appDelegate.webview = UIWebView()

        appDelegate.webview!.frame = CGRect(x: 0 - 8, y: 0 - 8, width: self.view.bounds.size.width + 14, height: self.view.bounds.size.height + 14)

        appDelegate.webview!.scrollView.frame = CGRect(x: 0 - 8, y: 0 - 8, width: self.view.bounds.size.width + 14, height: self.view.bounds.size.height + 14)

and then for saving the PDF

func createPdfFromView(aView: UIView, saveToDocumentsWithFileName fileName: String)
    {

        let pdfData = NSMutableData()

        UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(pdfData, CGRect(x: 0 + 8, y: 0 - 8, width: aView.bounds.size.width - 17, height: aView.bounds.size.height - 117), nil)

        UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage()

        guard let pdfContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else { return }

        aView.layer.renderInContext(pdfContext)
        UIGraphicsEndPDFContext()

        if let documentDirectories = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first {
            let documentsFileName = documentDirectories + "/" + fileName
            debugPrint(documentsFileName)
            pdfData.writeToFile(documentsFileName, atomically: true)
        }
    }

Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong
