The contents of the options menu are built dynamically based on three things:
The type of the document (as specified by the

The actions that you have indicated as supported in the document interaction controller delegate’s
documentmethodInteraction Controller: can Perform Action:
Options that cannot be performed on the current document are not included in the menu. For example, if the document cannot be opened by any known apps, the menu does not include options for opening it.
This method displays the options menu asynchronously. The document interaction controller dismisses the menu automatically when the user selects an appropriate option. You can also dismiss it programmatically using the dismiss method.
