How to share or open the pdf file using whatsapp in iOS?

I am developing an iOS app which generates a PDF. I want to share and open that pdf using my app. I tried to use the : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/DocInteraction/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40010052 sample app. But, except mail and print, its not giving any other app to open it up with even though whatsapp is installed.

So how exactly to use DocInteractionController to share files using whatsapp? I followed : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/DocumentInteraction_TopicsForIOS/Articles/PreviewingandOpeningItems.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010410-SW1 and https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/iphone/23559013.

Thanks

So do you want to open a PDF using whatsapp or simply open a PDF in one of your Views ? – Matt Murdock
Use UIWebView if you want to just open in your application, and if you want to Open With some other apps, follow this link g8production.com/post/54417573525/… – iphonic

Thanks a lot @iphonic.

Whatsapp supports only images, videos not pdf or text file.

So we can use http://www.g8production.com/post/54417573525/open-with-in-ios-uidocumentinteractioncontroller for those types and leave the rest!
