Not able to share pdf via whatsapp

I'm having an html data that is being converted to pdf. Now I want to share that pdf via whatsapp. I tried to achieve it like so...

  let pdfData = generatePDF(from: self.appDelegate.HTMLContent)

  let activityViewController:UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems:  [pdfData], applicationActivities: nil)

self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

But when I select the recipient for sending, get the message This item cannot be shared. Please select a different item But the sharing can be done via message app. The problem is with whatsapp.

Did refer this link also..Share PDF through WhatsApp

But it didn't help...

You can not pass direct data. You should store pdf file in document or temp directory and than pass url of pdf file.

let vc = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [storeurl], applicationActivities: [])

self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

Use DocumentInteractionController and your issue will be solved

let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "Sample", withExtension: "pdf")!
docController = UIDocumentInteractionController(url: url)
docController?.delegate = self
docController?.presentOptionsMenu(from: self.view.frame, in:self.view, animated:true)
