Please help in order to resolve the printing issue that i am facing while coding in objective c.
I want to print any file like (*.pages,*.numbers,*.keynote)
but i am not able to print these files using PMPrinterPrintWithFile function of objective c
I am able to print other files like *.txt,*.jpeg,*.png, *.pdf.
when I try to print iwork document like *.pages file with PMPrinterPRintWithFile, it returns a status as 1028
when I am printing other files like *.pdf,*.txt it is printed easily with status 0
and one more point I am not able to find out the MimeType of files like *.pages,*.number,*.keynote
the MIMETYPE object gets NULL value when i fetch it using the below code.
The Code I am using :
