Cannot locate PDF file in iPhone

In one of my activity, I displayed a PDF using WebView on screen and tried to save this PDF using this code:

_pageSize = CGSizeMake(width, height);

    NSString *newPDFName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", name];

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = ([paths count] > 0) ? [paths objectAtIndex:0] : nil;

    NSString *pdfPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:newPDFName];

    UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToFile(pdfPath, CGRectZero, nil);
     NSLog(@"path=%@",pdfPath);

When I run this code in iOS simulator (using Xcode) and show the path and I opened this PDF file successfully in documents folder, but when I run this code in an iPhone, I got this path:

/var/mobile/Applications/0AF98361-C8DF-4C35-9E9F-EE48555185BC/Library/354746396.pdf

So where are PDF files stored in iPhone?

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 367)];
    webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); 
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; 
    NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myPDF11.pdf"];

    NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];
    [webView loadRequest:request];

    [self.view addSubview:webView];
}

"..InDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);"

"../Library/354746396.pdf"

Your paths is looking in the NSLibraryDirectory, it should be looking in the NSDocumentDirectory like this:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

If still fail, try this code:

NSString *documents = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];
NSString *savePath = [documents stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"filename.pdf"];
NSLog(@"savePath: %@", savePath);
