I am building an iOS application which consumes PDF documents and displays them to a user on their device, I need to allow the user to be able to interact with the content of the PDF by placing buttons over sections of the PDF.
To do this I need the coordinates of where the button should be placed within the PDF file view.
My initial thoughts were a web application using Javascript, PHP and MySQL would need to be created to allow my client to 'Draw' the buttons on to the PDF's and that this process would generate the coordinates needed and save them in a database.
After A LOT of googling I haven't found anything that does what I need so it looks like I will have to build something but I am stuck as what and where to start.
So the question is does anyone know of or can suggest a solution to the above that might get me started down the right path?
N.B. I did ask a similar question but got marked down for vagueness so I have re asked here with more detail.
