CGContextDrawPDFPage is drawing the page on the wrong origin point?

You need to change when you set the pageRect's origin (which I assume you do to center in the view). You are setting both the layer's frame and the contentView's frame to the offset pageRect when you really intend to offset only one.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
