Discussion
The system sets the is parameter to YES if the system successfully opened the file in place, or NO if it made a local copy. In either case, you must access the returned NSURL using an NSFile object.
If the system created a local copy of a file, it will be automatically deleted after your file coordinator relinquishes its read access to the file.
