I’m trying to create a synchronous method on iOS (4.2.1) to create a
thumbnail image for a PowerPoint file. To accomplish this, I want to
load the file into a web view, then wait for it to load, then render
its context into a new graphics context and save it to an image.
Here’s what I have so far:

        http://pastie.org/1395434

I’ve tried adding the web view as a subview of the UIWindow to force
it to render, but that didn’t seem to matter. The problem is line 26:
waiting for the semaphore to be signaled blocks the thread, and the
web view won’t load. None of the delegate methods will ever be called
while I’m blocking.

Is there a way to synchronously wait for the web view? All
combinations of splitting things off on separate threads fall apart
when I try to wait for the image to be created.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
