This code worked nicely for me  thanks    This is what i did with it  Some methods for stepping forward or backwards and one for going directly to a particular page  Its for a 6 page document in portrait view  It will work ok if you paste it into the implementation of the RootController of the pageViewController template   - IBAction pageGoto  id sender          get page to go to     NSUInteger pageToGoTo   4         get current index of current page     DataViewController  theCurrentViewController    self pageViewController viewControllers   objectAtIndex 0       NSUInteger retreivedIndex    self modelController indexOfViewController theCurrentViewController          get the page s  to go to     DataViewController  targetPageViewController    self modelController viewControllerAtIndex  pageToGoTo - 1  storyboard self storyboard        DataViewController  secondPageViewController    self modelController viewControllerAtIndex  pageToGoTo  storyboard self storyboard          put it or them if in landscape view  in an array     NSArray  theViewControllers   nil          theViewControllers    NSArray arrayWithObjects targetPageViewController  secondPageViewController  nil           check which direction to animate page turn then turn page accordingly     if  retreivedIndex  lt   pageToGoTo - 1   amp  amp  retreivedIndex     pageToGoTo - 1             self pageViewController setViewControllers theViewControllers direction UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated YES completion NULL              if  retreivedIndex  gt   pageToGoTo - 1   amp  amp  retreivedIndex     pageToGoTo - 1             self pageViewController setViewControllers theViewControllers direction UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionReverse animated YES completion NULL              - IBAction pageFoward  id sender          get current index of current page     DataViewController  theCurrentViewController    self pageViewController viewControllers objectAtIndex 0       NSUInteger retreivedIndex    self modelController indexOfViewController theCurrentViewController          check that current page isn t first page     if  retreivedIndex  lt  5              get the page to go to         DataViewController  targetPageViewController    self modelController viewControllerAtIndex  retreivedIndex   1  storyboard self storyboard              put it or them if in landscape view  in an array         NSArray  theViewControllers   nil              theViewControllers    NSArray arrayWithObjects targetPageViewController  nil              add page view          self pageViewController setViewControllers theViewControllers direction UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated YES completion NULL               - IBAction pageBack  id sender           get current index of current page     DataViewController  theCurrentViewController    self pageViewController viewControllers objectAtIndex 0       NSUInteger retreivedIndex    self modelController indexOfViewController theCurrentViewController          check that current page isn t first page     if  retreivedIndex  gt  0          get the page to go to     DataViewController  targetPageViewController    self modelController viewControllerAtIndex  retreivedIndex - 1  storyboard self storyboard          put it or them if in landscape view  in an array     NSArray  theViewControllers   nil          theViewControllers    NSArray arrayWithObjects targetPageViewController  nil          add page view      self pageViewController setViewControllers theViewControllers direction UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionReverse animated YES completion NULL

Since I needed this as well  I ll go into more detail on how to do this   Note   I assume you used the standard template form for generating your UIPageViewController structure - which has both the modelViewController and dataViewController created when you invoke it   If you don t understand what I wrote - go back and create a new project that uses the UIPageViewController as it s basis   You ll understand then   So  needing to flip to a particular page involves setting up the various pieces of the method listed above   For this exercise  I m assuming that it s a landscape view with two views showing   Also  I implemented this as an IBAction so that it could be done from a button press or what not - it s just as easy to make it selector call and pass in the items needed   So  for this example you need the two view controllers that will be displayed - and optionally  whether you re going forward in the book or backwards   Note that I merely hard-coded where to go to pages 4  amp  5 and use a forward slip  From here you can see that all you need to do is pass in the variables that will help you get these items     - IBAction  flipToPage  id sender           Grab the viewControllers at position 4  amp  5 - note  your model is responsible for providing these           Technically  you could have them pre-made and passed in as an array containing the two items         DataViewController  firstViewController    self modelController viewControllerAtIndex 4 storyboard self storyboard       DataViewController  secondViewController    self modelController viewControllerAtIndex 5 storyboard self storyboard            Set up the array that holds these guys         NSArray  viewControllers   nil       viewControllers    NSArray arrayWithObjects firstViewController  secondViewController  nil            Now  tell the pageViewContoller to accept these guys and do the forward turn of the page          Again  forward is subjective - you could go backward   Animation is optional but it s          a nice effect for your audience          self pageViewController setViewControllers viewControllers direction UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated YES completion NULL            Voila  - c est fin

As the ViewControllers are embedded in the PageViewController all you have to do is:

Retrieve parent view controller and cast as your relevant class.
Use that parents datasource property to get the next ViewController.
Use the SetParentViewControllers method to set and transition to the next page.

Example in Xamarin, but functionally similar to Swift etc. Following code would be in Button Click delegate in one of the ViewControllers being shown as a page:

var parent = ParentViewController as WelcomePageViewController;
var next = parent.DataSource.GetNextViewController(parent, this);

parent.SetViewControllers(new UIViewController[] { next }, UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection.Forward, true, null);

Here s another code example for a single paged view  Implementation for viewControllerAtIndex is omitted here  it should return the correct view controller for the given index   -  void changePage  UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection direction       NSUInteger pageIndex     FooViewController      pageViewController viewControllers objectAtIndex 0   pageIndex       if  direction    UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward            pageIndex              else           pageIndex--             FooViewController  viewController    self viewControllerAtIndex pageIndex        if  viewController    nil            return               pageViewController setViewControllers   viewController                                    direction direction                                    animated YES                                  completion nil       Pages can be changed by calling   self changePage UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionReverse    self changePage UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward

Here is a solution using UIPageViewControllerDataSource methods   The code keeps track of the current displayed view controller in the UIPageViewController         property  nonatomic  strong  UIViewController  currentViewController   property  nonatomic  strong  UIViewController  nextViewController        First initialize currentViewController to the initial view controller set for the UIPageViewController   -  void  viewDidLoad        super viewDidLoad               self currentViewController   self viewControllers 0                self pageViewController setViewControllers    self currentViewController  direction  dir animated  YES completion  nil         Then keep track of currentViewController in the UIPageViewControllerDelegate methods  pageViewController  willTransitionToViewControllers  and pageViewController didFinishAnimating previousViewControllers transitionCompleted     -  nullable UIViewController    pageViewController   UIPageViewController    pageViewController viewControllerBeforeViewController   UIViewController    viewController       NSInteger idx    self viewControllers indexOfObject  viewController       if  idx  gt  0            return self viewControllers idx - 1         else           return nil           -  nullable UIViewController    pageViewController  UIPageViewController   pageViewController viewControllerAfterViewController   UIViewController    viewController       NSInteger idx    self viewControllers indexOfObject  viewController       if  idx    NSNotFound            return nil        else           if  idx   1  lt  self viewControllers count                return self viewControllers idx   1             else               return nil                     -  void  pageViewController  UIPageViewController   pageViewController willTransitionToViewControllers  NSArray lt UIViewController   gt    pendingViewControllers       self nextViewController    pendingViewControllers firstObject      -  void pageViewController  UIPageViewController   pageViewController didFinishAnimating  BOOL finished previousViewControllers  NSArray lt UIViewController   gt    previousViewControllers transitionCompleted  BOOL completed       if  completed            self currentViewController   self nextViewController            Finally  in the method of your choice  in the example below it s -  IBAction  onNext   id  sender   you can programmatically switch to the next or previous controller using UIPageViewControllerDataSouce methods pageViewController viewControllerBeforeViewController    pageViewController viewControllerAfterViewController  to get the next or prev view controller and navigate to it by calling  self pageViewController setViewControllers    vc  direction  UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated  YES completion  nil     -  void  onNext       UIViewController  vc    self pageViewController  self tutorialViewController viewControllerAfterViewController  self currentViewController       if  vc    nil            self currentViewController   vc           self tutorialViewController setViewControllers    vc  direction  UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated  YES completion  nil

I also needed a button to navigate left on a PageViewController, one that should do exactly what you would expect from the swipe motion.

Since I had a few rules already in place inside "pageViewController:viewControllerBeforeViewController" for dealing with the natural swipe navigation, I wanted the button to re-use all that code, and simply could not afford to use specific indexes to reach pages as the previous answers did. So, I had to take an alternate solution.

Please note that the following code is for a Page View Controller that is a property inside my custom ViewController, and has its spine set to mid.

Here is the code I wrote for my Navigate Left button:

- (IBAction)btnNavigateLeft_Click:(id)sender {

    // Calling the PageViewController to obtain the current left page
    UIViewController *currentLeftPage = [_pageController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];

    // Creating future pages to be displayed
    NSArray *newDisplayedPages = nil;
    UIViewController *newRightPage = nil;
    UIViewController *newLeftPage = nil;

    // Calling the delegate to obtain previous pages
    // My "pageViewController:viewControllerBeforeViewController" method returns nil if there is no such page (first page of the book).
    newRightPage = [self pageViewController:_pageController viewControllerBeforeViewController:currentLeftPage];
    if (newRightPage) {
        newLeftPage = [self pageViewController:_pageController viewControllerBeforeViewController:newRightPage];
    }

    if (newLeftPage) {
        newDisplayedPages = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:newLeftPage, newRightPage, nil];
    }

    // If there are two new pages to display, show them with animation.
    if (newDisplayedPages) {
        [_pageController setViewControllers:newDisplayedPages direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionReverse animated:YES completion:nil];
    }
}

You can do something very similar to make a right navigation button from here.

What about using methods from dataSource?

UIViewController *controller = [pageViewController.dataSource pageViewController:self.pageViewController viewControllerAfterViewController:pageViewController.viewControllers.firstObject];
[pageViewController setViewControllers:@[controller] direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:YES completion:nil];

Analogically for backward.

As  samwize pointed out  the way of paginating is by using  setViewControllers array   Here s the way I did it  I have my datasource and the delegate separate  You can call this method and only change the  next  view  Previously you have to apply the paging rules   That is  you have to check direction and the next controller  If you use that method with your custom datasource the array of controllers that you re displaying won t change  since you ll use a custom array on a NSObject subclass    Using your own datasource the method just sets a new view  with specific direction   Since you will still controll the pages that will display when normally swiping

Yes it is possible with the method   -  void setViewControllers  NSArray   viewControllers                   direction  UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection direction                    animated  BOOL animated                  completion  void     BOOL finished  completion     That is the same method used for setting up the first view controller on the page  Similar  you can use it to go to other pages   Wonder why viewControllers is an array  and not a single view controller   That s because a page view controller could have a  spine   like in iBooks   displaying 2 pages of content at a time  If you display 1 page of content at a time  then just pass in a 1-element array   An example in Swift   pageContainer setViewControllers  displayThisViewController   direction   Forward  animated  true  completion  nil

However using this  self pageViewController setViewControllers  method call does not call  viewDidDissapear  on the viewController for the page that has been turned away  whereas manually turning a page does call viewDidDissapear on the turned away page  I believe this is the cause of my crash    The number of view controllers provided  0  doesn t match the number required  1  for the requested transition
