   I've managed to cobble together a horrible working proof at http://pastie.org/1352776">http://pastie.org/1352776 which at least confirms that the createDocumentViewer function does work, and can launch things.

   More trawling through objc to go, but I think I can get something working now.

   I don't know if appcelerator accepts outside doc/code samples, but if I can I'll attach a proper documented example later and see if someone wants to import it.

2. Pedro Enrique 2011-06-06 Just a comment... Could we get some Docs on this and a working sample code? The code provided by William is not working. There is a sample code from Apple (in Obj-C) right here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/DocInteraction/Listings/ReadMe_txt.html

4. Anirudh Nagesh 2011-07-05 One more customer request for this info. Associated Helpdesk Ticket: http://support-admin.appcelerator.com/display/APP-851388 Increasing the priority to High
5. Jeff English 2011-07-11 While not the same feature, note that we now have a QuickLook module that surfaces the iOS QuickLook API for displaying documents in a view.
6. Stephen Tramer 2011-07-25 Forgot to resolve issue.
7. Eric Merriman 2011-12-06 Sample code: must include a pdf "Example.pdf"

      //-----------example--------
      Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000');
      
      //creating the window
      var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
      title:'win 1',
      backgroundColor:'#fff'
      });
      
      //add window - navigation bar
      var modalWin = Ti.UI.createWindow();
      var navmodal = Ti.UI.iPhone.createNavigationGroup({
      window:modalWin
      });
      win1.add(navmodal);
      
      //button for the nav bar
      var b2t = Titanium.UI.createButton({
      title:'Launch'
       });
      modalWin.RightNavButton = b2t;
      
      //button for the window
      var b1t = Titanium.UI.createButton({
      title:'Launch',
      height:40,
      width:200,
      top:270
      });
      win1.add(b1t);
      
      //Setting up the documentviewer
      z = Ti.UI.iPad.createDocumentViewer({url:'Example.pdf'});
      
      //documentviewer with animation set on and a quicklook view poping up next to a view
      b1t.addEventListener('click', function(){z.show({animated:false,view:b2t});});
      
      //documentviewer with animation set off
      b2t.addEventListener('click', function(){z.show();});
      win1.open();
      

8. Eric Merriman 2011-12-06 Verified functioning with SDK 1.8.0.1.v20111205164258 on iPad 2 (4.3.6) and iPad 2 (4.3.5). Also verified documentation is in place.
9. Michael Pettiford 2012-01-03 Reopening/closing to update labels
10. Chaim Krause 2013-01-03 I agree with Michael Pettiford's comment - 03/Jan/12 5:56 PM. Will open new issue for iOS.
