I have seen this kind of question a lot on the internet but it seems no one really knows the answer?
I am using QLPreviewController for displaying PDF documents. I first used a UIWebView but I was recommended to use QLPreviewController instead for performance reasons with bigger documents.
what I want is 4 custom UIBarButtonItem's in the top right (so where the print button is).
I managed to get a custom toolbar at the bottom, but that's not really what I want.
Considering that it is not possible to add custom button at the place of the print button, I still want to remove the printbutton and use the custom toolbar instead.
EDIT (Solution): I found the solution a while ago but didn't update this post so here is how I solved the problem:
I add al the buttons manually:
// Create a toolbar to have the buttons at the right side of the navigationBar
UIToolbar* toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 180, 44.01)];
[toolbar setTranslucent:YES];
// Create the array to hold the buttons, which then gets added to the toolbar
NSMutableArray* buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:4];
// Create button 1
button1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSearch target:self action:@selector(button1Pressed)];
[buttons addObject:button1];
// Create button 2
button2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCompose target:self action:@selector(button2Pressed)];
[buttons addObject:button2];
// Create button 3
button3 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemBookmarks target:self action:@selector(button3Pressed)];
[buttons addObject:button3];
// Create a action button
openButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAction target:self action:@selector(openWith)];
[buttons addObject:openButton];
// insert the buttons in the toolbar
[toolbar setItems:buttons animated:NO];
// and put the toolbar in the navigation bar
[[self navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:toolbar]];
