iOS Apps with PDFs and Order Forms

I'm doing this course because I have a few app ideas in mind for the business I work for. Two things I would like to be able to do are:

  • Upload a PDF that people can view offline - a friend suggested linking it to a different that user has, but my favourite thought is to be able to open it in iBooks so that automatically saves to their iDevice.
  • Enable users to order from the app - may not be possible to be as technical as I'd like (have them click from the PDF and that adds to an order form). Even if people can view product details and 'add to cart' so to speak. I don't care if they can't pay as I think orders may come from schools, just email through what they want so send = email to me. My question is (sorry, I've gone about this the long way), will a section somewhere in this course enable me to be able to do this?? I'm not a programmer, and am learning from complete scratch so the answer may me obvious just not to me.

you would want to do the learning track for IOS at least to self destructing message app where you learn to store data online. this way you can allow users to upload files, and other users to download it.

I plan on doing it all, I just wasn't sure if it would teach me those specific things. Thanks
