Offline storage for PDF iOS application

I like to provide an offline storage option to my current PDF reader application. I just like to know what are the best possible ways to store an PDF offline for persistent storage. I am planning to use CoreData but I don't know it will be overkill for my project or not. Can someone please help me to find quick way for persistent storage.

If depends on how this storage fits on your application. If you do not have a current database system, then creating a database to keep a list of PDF documents is an overkill. Just create a directory and read the files contained in that directory. Check the documentation of NSFileManager for help with creating files and directories: NSFileManager Class Reference.

If you already have a database, do not save the pdf files in the database. If using core data, use the "Store in external record file" feature, which is available on iOS 5 and above.
