My question is: What does your question mean? Can you describe in
greater detail what you're trying to do, and perhaps include some code
if appropriate? I'm really not sure what you're actually describing. It
sounds like you've got a delegate associated with an object that's
trying to do something to a different object of the same type as that
for which it's a delegate, but something's going wrong somehow (don't
know the actual failure behavior) and I'm not sure what it would mean to
"define it inside the delegate function." Are you perhaps trying to
manipulate an object that your delegate simply doesn't know exists?

Gregory Weston,

sorry for the unclearness. You are right I'm trying to manipulate an
object my delegate doesn't know exists. And I have no idea how to
deal with it. I'm truing to describe the object extrnally but it
doesn't work . Can you advice me something? here is the code:

- (IBAction)writePdf:(id)sender
{

//temp1PDF = [[[PDFDocument alloc] initWithURL:
//                        [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/volumes/macintosh
hd/PDFS/empty.pdf"]] autorelease];

NSString *search = @"3533168";
[docPDF setDelegate :self];
[docPDF beginFindString: search withOptions: NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];

}

- (void) didMatchString: (PDFSelection *) instance
{

selectPDF = instance;

// I have to describe this temp1PDF here and it is reset all the
times, but I need to have it acccumullate smth.
temp1PDF = [[[PDFDocument alloc] initWithURL:
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/volumes/macintosh hd/PDFS/empty.pdf"]]
autorelease];

[temp1PDF insertPage: [docPDF pageAtIndex:0]   atIndex: 0];
[temp1PDF writeToFile:@"/volumes/macintosh hd/PDFS/results.pdf"];

++pp ;

}
