How to Rename Your Downloaded PDF File in Swift for iOS

Downloading PDFs from an API in iOS applications is a common task, but many developers encounter a challenge when trying to rename the downloaded PDF file. Whether you're creating an app that allows users to save documents locally or you're simply trying to customize the files generated, understanding how to rename PDF files effectively can save you a lot of headaches.

In this guide, we'll explore how to rename a downloaded PDF file using Swift, focusing on updating the PDF's metadata and saving it with a custom title.

Identifying the Problem

You've successfully downloaded a PDF from an API endpoint, but the downloaded file is named simply "PDF document.pdf." You want to change the file's title to something more meaningful. The good news is that this is achievable through a few key steps in your Swift code.

Solution Overview

To rename the downloaded PDF file, you'll need to perform the following steps:

Update the PDF's document attributes to set a new title.

Save the document locally using a custom filename.

Let's break this down step-by-step.

Step 1: Update the PDF Document Attributes

First, you need to set the title attribute of the PDF document. The title can be adjusted using the documentAttributes property of the PDFDocument class. Here's the code snippet to update the title:

Explanation of Key Code Segments

DispatchQueue.main.async: This ensures that any operations on the UI or tasks that need to run on the main thread wait until the current tasks are completed.

pdfDocument.write(to: docURL): This line saves your PDF document to the specified URL which includes your new file name.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can successfully rename your downloaded PDF file in Swift for iOS. By updating the document's metadata and saving it with a customized title, you can ensure that your files are organized and named appropriately for your users.

No more "PDF document.pdf" cluttering your documents directory! Now you know how to give your PDF files the names they deserve.

Happy coding!
