NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"url of which i'm reciving from the server"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self.webView loadRequest:request];

Is there any other way to open the following type of files in application? Any help can be appreciated.

Answer 1

The UIWebView is supposed to render websites, not documents (PDF might work).

You should take a look in this Apple Developer Example and an other StackOverflow post (this might be a duplicat):
